I agree 100%. I get so engrossed that I forget what time it is. And I keep thinking of the next quilt.

How about you?

yes, sometimes I just need to get away to my sewing room.

I started to quilt the day I found out that my father was very ill and wouldn't live long...quilting gave me a warm loving feeling a place to hide. I felt as if the fabric cradled me from the hurt of loosing my most precious father! It still calms my nerves and makes me feel very good about myself.
