Sewing (and Quilting)…a Lost Art?
When I was growing up, quilting and sewing were common household tasks. Mothers and grandmothers taught the younger generations to sew and quilt, just as they did to cook. I also had Aunt Mary, a neighbor who was the sewing leader in the 4-H Club. My mother, although she was a busy farmwife, sewed dresses for my sister and me, until Aunt Mary taught us to sew.

This is really thought provoking, isn’t it? I hate to admit that it’s probably true.
