My mother and my grandmother sewed from my earliest memory. I thought everyone's moms and grandmoms sewed...and maybe most of them did back in the 1940's. When I was little, I played in my mother's button box under her cutting table while she sewed, and I loved to go through my grandmother's scrap bag that she used for quilting while at her house. It never occurred to me not to sew. My mother started me out by helping me make a nighty when I was 8 years old. I started sewing on my own in earnest while in jr. high school and have been sewing ever since. I added quilting to the sewing about 25 years ago. We have given both of our married daughters sewing machines, and they grew up with me sewing most of their clothes, but the sewing bug has yet to bite them. I keep hoping...
