Sews and quilts. Has a longarm quilting machine with the computer drive? She makes some beautiful quilts. Has about a dozen sewing machines of different styles. Sha has one that is a Sail-Rite machine, I believe that sucker would sew sheet metal. Also crochets and Tats. Tatting is making doilies and such for end tables and such. Tools leather, makes some neat stuff, including a couple of holsters. Knits also.
She's an over achiever.

Wife is a quilter also. Most evenings she is quilting and I'm reloading.

She does! Principle women's draper for the San Francisco Opera costume shop retired. An artist with fabric. And I don't ask her to sew my stuff very often.

Negative.
If it needs sewn I do it. Learned how as a kid messing with repairing hunting clothes or customizing hunting gear.
Daughter does but is no longer under my roof.

When my mother died, I gave her 1950s Singer sewing machine to the sewing machine store to find a new owner.
