My maternal great-grandmother was still living up until I was in my twenties--she quilted all the time. I don't ever remember her sitting down without some sort of project in her lap or on the frame. My grandmother, her daughter, also made lots of quilts. My mom is also a quilter, though not to that extent. I'm assuming the line of quilters goes back generations from there. On my dad's side, I don't know of any quilters. My daughter has quilted, but with a young daughter and a church (she is a pastor's wife), time is tight right now--I'm sure she will come back to it. I'm hoping to encourage my stepkids--I had them make patchwork pillows several years ago, and they love quilts, so maybe...
