My sister dabbled at quilting and I have two of her cushions. The same grandmother used to embroider and do tapestries. She tapestried 4 chair seats in bargello work for me, complaining loudly that it nearly drove her mad. My mother tapestried a chair seat for me and both my sister and I enjoy tapestrying as well. I also learned to make my own clothes from my mother as well as cooking. It's wonderful that these skills were passed down and such a shame that they are considered by today's youth as old-fashioned and a waste of time. this post really resonated with me - thank you my grandmother made each of her grandchildren a patchwork quilt and my parents still have at least one of them.
