What fabulous memories. My Mom taught me to embroider and sew; however, we somehow skipped quilting, and all the quilts she made were worn out by the time I came along as the youngest of 7 kids, 5 brothers and one sister. However, there was a family friend that my Mom visited regularly, they shared garden advice and I got to see Aunt Kate sew on her treadle machine. She made beautiful quilts and pieced aprons, one I got when I was young and a more adult version when I was in high school. Her piecing was perfection.
