First sewed an outfit onto a doll in 1st grade. I did not follow directions and couldn't get it off again. then in Home Ec 1953, learned to sew. Been sewing ever since--took about 25 years off while I worked. Learned to knit in Girl Scouts--still knit. Learned to crochet on the Rock Island train coming home from work in Chicago. Began quilting after watching a PBS show. Doing it all now and I'm happy. Oh yes, counted cross stitch in TX from a friend. About anything with a needle.
