My mother had quilting frames and ladies would come to the house and work on a quilt all day. Did you ever help granny with a quilt? You must have if you know how to quilt. My mom and I made a small quilt for my son before he was born.

I crocheted a blanket for my grandson before he was born. I crocheted a gray vest with leather inserts and leather buttons for my father in law because he had a heart attack and was always cold.

I still have my crochet needles and bunches of rolls of thread.

I have a crocheted bedspread my mom made. She worked on it when I was out on dates - took a lot of dates to crochet the whole bedspread.

I never helped granny with a quilt, I was too small back then, but I learned how it worked at her knee. My older sister is the one that gave me my OJT on quiltmaking.

I had to learn to sew, and how to repair sewing machines. Just like when my brother bought his first car. I had to learn with him, how to do repairs, and eventually how to weld and do body work.

My parents thought it was best to keep my busy, for some reason, when I was growing up. ;)
