When I was a little girl, and had to stay home from school because I was sick, I used to go to my grandparents’ house.
Most of the time, I had some toys or books to occupy me… or I just wallowed in sickness – watching soap operas, Lawrence Welk, or Anne of Green Gables (if I was lucky!) with my grandpa.
Some days though, I got to watch my grandma sewing patchwork and quilting! As a kid, I don’t think it occurred to me that I could actually DO that myself someday! But as the years went by, and without serious encouragement from my elders (the “YOU SHOULD DO THIS” kind), I took up sewing, then knitting, then quilting, on my own. She planted the seed!
