It reaslly is sad, isn't it? I taught my son and daughter to sew and then my two granddaughters. My grandson made a quilt on my FW when he was 6. He loved the process as much as the girls. So many young people today make it a point of pride to say "I can't cook" or I can't run the vacuum cleaner or I can't (you fill in the blanks). They'll be sorry one day!
