My mother started hand quilting after I left home and I never saw her quilt; but often sent her books on quilting and fabric as I visited MaryJo's in Gastonia weekly. I didn't start quilting until 25 years after her death. Now, I wish I had been able to watch her quilt. I am sure that her mother never quilted. My daughters do not quilt; but I think my granddaughter will be a quilter. I make lots of quilts for my daughter's three foster children. They each have told me that they are going to make me a quilt when they grow up.
