Oh both of my grandmothers' houses. My paternal grandmother did some quilting but favorite thing was tatting, knitting and crocheting. She used to make lacy coverlets for the top of her bed. My aunt got those and she still has them. Sadly a tablecloth never survived. Loved to watch her. My maternal did a lot of machine quilting. Her summer quilts were without a middle layer. Her other quilts many quilted by hand and pieced by her machine. She did a few crazy quilts out of clothes. I'm sure many went to one aunt who complained about having nothing all the time. Oh well! Loved spending nights at my grandparents. No one understood why. I got pampered for goodness sake! I am one of the few who was fortunate to know both of my grandparents on both sides. Pampered to me was sitting on their laps and being told stories and just helping with little things. I had a very close relationship with both sides.
