My Mom & Gramma did ceramics, Gramma tried talking me into alterations & making wedding dresses (should have listened!) but NO one quilted. My Dad's mom went to bingos & won quilts, she did it the easy way! everyone had sewing machines but didn't ever see but one of them use it. I am the only quilter out of my whole family (17 cousins one side & too many to count on the other side) Everyone crocheted I think (but my sister)
