My boys grew up watching me sew for our bread and butter. My eldest took sewing in school...made himself bright neon green shorts!!! He has the basics, but no interest to do more. Middle son never took an interest. The youngest made himself a bright red Zoot suit for his HS graduation!!! Unfortunately, he loaned it to a friend to wear to his grad, and never got it back. :( He is the only one that owns a sewing machine. He can, and does, sew for himself occasionally, but so far has not expressed any interest in quilting. My grandbabies are too far away for me to have much influence yet....I only see them about once a year. Even tho' I talk on the phone with my DGS, I think he thinks he is talking with the gramma that lives closer. DGD is about old enough now that I will start getting her on the phone too. My son just got a new computer with a built in webcam, so hopefully we can connect that way now too.
