Thank you for the assist. It seems that generations of women before us took the skill of sewing in stride, an expectation that they would learn and know how to sew. All women, in all economic strata, sewed to some extent and taught sewing and embroidery to young girls within their family circles. Having completed a quilt once is to me quite remarkable! I too have "UFO's" (unfinished objects)that seem to call out for completion. My mother was an amazing self-taught sewer. Perhaps a forum discussion of how our mothers, sisters, aunts, and caregivers learned to sew and how sewing as a skill or hobby has been passed down to us through the generations would be interesting indeed.
