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.
