Who taught you to stitch.

My grandmother, to a lesser extent my mother and finally I ended up teaching myself.

I am teaching a friend's daughter, anyone who asks and hopefully my daughter. I'd teach my son, but I'm not sure he'd want to!

I taught myself cross stitch. A friend taught me crochet long ago, but I don't do it any more. I know my mother did surface embroidery, and she made clothes for us, so I think more than teaching me specifics, she set that example for me.

I taught myself to stitch, beginning a kit and with Erica Wilson's big book on needlework and following the diagrams. I also taught myself to knit--the Vogue Knitting Book was the source there. Dawne

I learned surface embroidery as a child from my mother. She later also taught me to knit and crochet with some finer points taught by a former boss when I was in college. I taught myself how to do crewel in college when my best friend started a kit and didn't want to finish it, so I did for her.

My oldest sister was the first to teach me how to sew clothes when I was in jr. high.

I discovered ccs through a coworker in the late 70s and fell in love. The rest, they say......

I am going to learn tatting at the CATS festival in 2 weeks. :)

Shamelessly responding to my own post:
