I started sewing with my grandmother when I was about 9. I don't have anything that old--the oldest fabric in my personal stash is about 31 years old from the baby clothes I made for my first nephew. I also have my grandmother's stash. Some of that is from the 30's. I made a quilt from Grandma's fabric for my mother and aunt, and there's still enough left to make another one for me. :)
Sometimes I just like to sit in the middle of the floor and go through all the boxes, sorting and resorting, and remembering.
