I have two adult children now. We did all kinds of things when they were growng up: counted cross stitch, needlepoint, ceramics, drawing and painting. I know how to crochet, knit, sew. I am a self-taught quilter. Right now I am doing hand quilting: Grandmother's flower garden. My grandmother was a dressmaker in the sweat shops of New York City back in the day. My other grandmother loved to crochet. My mother use to crochet. In junior high school, I learned to sew, plus learned some tips and tricks from my mother and grandmother. I have passed on (didn't realize how much until she told me) a lot of these things to my children. My daughter said if it wasn't for me, she wouldn't know how to sew. I was so pleased when she said that. Yes, it is good to pass on. We both have a love for fabric and color and creativity.
