4th generation here....
I have my great grandmother's hand pieced and hand quilted quilt--what a treasure, I love it....
My grandmother sewed garments but really never quilted...
My Mom sewed garments as well and I started sewing with Home Ec classes. I have to add that the "itch" to quilt layed dormant until my children were grown and I was retired.......
Now, I can't get enough..... :P
