My family were experts and I can't hold a candle to them. Two of my cousins had a business designing stage costumes and ballroom dancing outfits with all the feathers and sequins etc. My grandmothers could all do exquisite crochet, tatting and embroidery. My mum could smock very well and made rugs and carpets, so my efforts are quite tame in comparison.

First generation quilter here. My Mom and DGM were not crafty at all.

My mother sewed everything you can imagine. Curtains, slip covers, almost all of our clothing. You name it, she sewed it. Endless doll clothing and quilts for their beds. I guess I got my love of sewing from her -- but not her ability to follow instructions!

well my Mother could make you a wedding dress without a pattern but she never taught me to sew. I taught myself.

I'm first generation. My mother didn't even replace buttons on shirts when they fell off. I had an aunt (married to my mother's brother) who had 5 boys and loved to sew. She taught me when I was 10 years old. I've been sewing ever since. Both my daughters sew...so the tradition will continue!

4th generation here....

I have my great grandmother's hand pieced and hand quilted quilt--what a treasure, I love it....

My grandmother sewed garments but really never quilted...

My Mom sewed garments as well and I started sewing with Home Ec classes. I have to add that the "itch" to quilt layed dormant until my children were grown and I was retired.......

Now, I can't get enough..... :P

Both of my Grandmothers sewed, as their mothers before them. My Mom worked at Jantzen sewing bathing suits before she married Dad, and nothing before that. The only sewing she did when I was growing up was mending/hemming... The only thing I ever remember her sewing was a baby quilt for my son out of a panel, a skating outfit and square dance dress for me. I think Grama helped her with my outfits :D and Mom's friend helped her with the quilt :D

Neither of my DDs seem interested yet either... my grands do show some interest though :D:D:D
