I grew up watching my grandma quilt away her days. She was retired and that is literally all I ever saw her do besides cook. My mom tells me that in her later years it really upset her that none of us girls wanted to learn she was afraid the art was going to die with her generation. I am the second youngest grandchild and grandma passed away when I was 20. The next year I decided to learn. I wish I would have taken advantage of all hers years of knowledge. I have many questions now I'd like to ask her. I am proud to be "the one" to carry on her traditions. She left numerous UFO's and WIP's for me to finish LOL.
