Thank you, Feline, for starting this topic; it's fun learning about everybody this way!
Except for the quilter on my paternal side who made my ca.1780 quilt, I don't know of any other immediate mothers, grandmothers for generations back who also quilted. My mother was a lovely seamstress. Her mother knitted gorgeous things. Her mother was a passionate needlepointer. No quilters. I learned on my own in 1982 and then I taught my mother to quilt in 1992.
She never returned the favor by teaching me dressmaking or knitting!
