When I was little I would go to my grandma's for "vacation".. I thought it was 'my' vacation, much later I learned it was vacation time for my parents! hahaha..
Anyway, My grandma taught me to do all sorts of different kinds of handwork.. knitting, crocheting, tatting, embroidery, crewel, painting, and quilting. From the time I was very little she would sit with me and we would quilt together.. If the stitches weren't good, she would make me take them out.. but to my knowledge, if she let them stay in she never removed them later.. I have loved handwork but especially quilting all my life thanks to her.
