I was about five or six when I remember mom sewing on her Singer. She would make us our PJs and shirts. I remember her making the whole family matching shirts. It wasn't untill mom retired before she starting quilting. I was on the phone with her, I was living in Asheville at the time, when she told me he was making a quilt. I mentioned this to my roommate ans Brenda told me that she and her mom and grandmother would all sit around and quilt. And that is how I started.
