My mother sewed garments for the kids, crocheted, quilted, and knew how to tat, but I never saw her do it. She taught me to crochet and helped me with quilting after I was married, and I taught her to knit. We truly enjoyed showing each other what project we were working on. Our tastes in fabric were similar and once after a shopping trip I took a bag with some fabric in it and she told me that was hers. When we got to looking she had purchased a piece of the very same fabric and we had a good laugh over it. She has been gone for many years and I still miss being able to "show and tell" her what I have been doing. Now I am so lucky to have a daughter who does marvelous quilting and we get to share those things with each other.
