uh, I think it was my mom, she made quite a few quilts. She also showed me how to embroider on a sampler(which is almost finished and I should probably finish it) she also showed me how to crochet. my grandma on my mom's side showed me how to knit, and my other grandma got these calendars made of I'm not sure what but they had patterns on them with little dots to sew sequins on and she was always working on those. They turned out very pretty but she always needed me to thread her needle, 3 strands of embroidery floss through a TINY needle. Suffice to say, I can thread a needle probably in the dark. But I would sew with her a lot. Oh, and I must have been about 6 or 7 when I started.
