These are so much fun to read. I am amazed at the number of people that learned at school or didn't learn until they were 10 or 12. It never occurred to me to wait that long. I was making doll dresses in the first grade. I think that is part of why I have difficulties reading patterns unless I read them out loud. That is what I did when I learned to sew!
I have often thought if we learned by piecing quilts first it would be easier.
