My mother was a knitter not a quilter - I hated knitting! I didn't start quilting until I was over 50, so my kids did not grow up around a sewing machine but I always did craft of some kind - painting, cross-stitch etc. My kids have always been crafty in some way (son is a carpenter, daughter is a designer jeweller) and now that they are older and in their own homes they are quite interested in my quilting.
Daughter has purchased an overlocker to do some clothes/craft sewing for herself and DIL is showing interest in cross-stitching (my DH still cross-stitches).
I think there is hope for a quilting future for both of them as they get a bit older.
