3rd generation here. My grandmother is the person who taught me to sew. I would sew it and she was point out mistakes and help me rip it out and do it over, and over, and over. My mom also sews and quilts. She is the queen of crazy quilts. Her love is piecing tiny bits of fabric and doing the fancy hand embroidery. Every time she is in my sewing room she checks my trash can for little bits and pieces saying all the time, " I can't believe your throwing this away," showing me a piece less than an inch square. She's a trip. I try to empty my trash before she shows up. LOL.
