My grandmother planted the seed when I was about 8. Since then I have taken classes over the years.
I was involved in 4H for 12 and now have one 14 year old that hand quilts better than I ever did. Her stitches are phenomnal. I've adopted her as my granddaughters do not live near. My daughter is also a newbie and doesn't live nearby either.
And I have six ladies at the church who took a handpiecing class from me recently and we plan to start up again next month. We will be make quilts ranging in size using the "jewel box" pattern. They all seem excited about it.
Yes, I have always said, "each one, teach one".
