Yes, I definitely feel very blessed. My maternal and paternal grandmothers both sewed and quilted and earned a living from doing it...they both made very elaborate dresses (wedding, prom, etc), quilted and embroidered beaded wedding pillows...you name it, they did it.
And even further back...both their parents owned a general store with fabric, so they started sewing really young.
My mom, and my daughter both enjoy quilting with me...I love that the best!
