I definately got the skill from my grandma. She use to have a hugh quilting frame set up in her dining room and always had a quilt in the rack sewing on it. I inherited her tredle sewing machine but not the quilt frame and a couple of quilts. I love to do any kind of crafty stuff, always have. My half sister was a professional painter, the other half sister can play piano and organ by ear and loves anykind of tatting or crochet. Other two sisters dont do anything crafty, nor does my twin brother. Id go nuts without something to work on! :)
