My precious mom tried so hard to teach me to embroider. She embroidered pillowcases, sheets, my underwear--everything she could think of. Sadly it never rubbed off on me. I learned how but when I watched her best friend Stella knit I was hooked and had to do it.Katherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06450679959206351852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6407290539855175918.post-57747824432821657552017-05-06T16:18:30.876-06:002017-05-06T16:18:30.876-06:00What a striking quilt!

But I'm the only quilter in the family - wonder where I got my quilting genes from? Both my Granny's passed away before I knew them, so I don't really know if there was quilting in their lives or not - certainly never mentioned.

Her eye for color was amazing.<br /><br />My Mom did not teach me how to craft, but my sister's Godmother taught me to knit and my Mom's mom taught me how to stitch --- stamped cross stitch, at the time. Later I taught myself to do counted cross stitch. <br /><br />My "Aunt" Shirley had no idea the knitting addict she created.

However she did teach us to hand sew paper pieced hexagons. I think that was the seed that lead to me being a quilter today.
