My maternal grandmother quilted by hand and taught me to crochet. My paternal grandmother tried to teach me to knit but I just could not get the hang of it. She also hand quilted. She was hand quilting till she passed away one day before her 101st birthday. I have some of the unfinished pieces I want to do something with. I have quilts made by both of them I treasure. Wrapping up in them feels like being hugged by them.
