Coming Together

I am still stitching away on the little quilt, so I apologize if you are getting tired of seeing the same old colours. But I am loving the feel of the layers of fabric coming together, the way the quilting stitches give such a sense of cohesion and flexibility. The cloth moves differently, is more supple, yet resilient. The work is a pleasure.

James asked me this morning how I manage to get through the day without seeming to worry, which surprised me, since I have just as many cares and woes as the next person. I suggested that stitching is what keeps me sane, and I really do think it is a calming, restorative, nurturing and healing activity. But you already know that, don't you?!?

  1. I've often been complimented on my serenity (not by my children by the way, who consider me a worrier) but by others (like my mother).

    It's all due to stitching, I do agree.
