When Jamison brings out the singers robe he states that her mother had been teaching Kira the art of weaving and dyeing. What is Kira's response?

From the text:

Jamison watched Kira as she remembered. Then he said, "Your mother had been teaching you the art."
Kira nodded. "Since I was small," she acknowledged aloud.
"Your mother was a skilled worker. Her dyes were steadfast. They have not faded."
"She was careful," Kira said, "and thorough."
"We are told that your skill is greater than hers."
So they knew. "I still have much to learn," Kira said.
"And she taught you the coloring, as well as the stitches?"
Kira nodded because she knew he expected her to. But it was not exactly true. Her mother had planned to teach her the art of the dyes, but the time had not yet come before the illness struck. She tried to be honest in her answer. "She was beginning to teach me," Kira said. "She told me that she had been taught by a woman named Annabel."
