Mom quilted, my dad's mom quilted, my aunts quilted, it was what we did when we were snowed in in the winter time. I guess I just never knew, until I got older, that there were actually people that didn't sew, quilt, crochet, embroider, etc. When I was growing up almost every girl in our community took 4H and Home Ec was a requirement---one semester of cooking, one of sewing. I'm still amazed when I meet a woman that doesn't know how to sew. Even my brothers could and still can sew.
ps, I will admit to having an older sister that doesn't sew at all. She knows how, she just chooses not to. She does, however, paint beautifully, sings and also plays the piano.
