It used to, but lately..not so much...I hope it'll come back as I do like doing it and have tons of fabric to make things with, but I feel as if I'm in the "stock pile" mode..

Quilting is also my happy place and therapy. A way to unwind!!! A place I run to as much as possible and never want to leave.

I agree Memepat. Sitting and working at my sewing machine is like being in my own space with the world far away and out of mind

I get happy just thinking about quilting. Planning something in my mind or thinking of the project I am working on, etc.

This may sound sort of strange but there used to be a Tall Mouse a couple miles from my house and it was one of my favorite places to buy fabric and supplies. They were mostly a craft store but had a small sewing section. They have since closed but every time I pass by that area I still get happy. I guess it's happy memories....

I never thought about it but I agree, quilting is happy place to be. Just wish I had time to visit the happy place more often.

I love quilting because I can put a bunch of effort into doing something and there is a forever reminder of an accomplishment. Unlike laundry, cleaning, etc. where there is always more the minute I think I am done and I get overwhelmed by the unendingness of not accomplishing anything. I read before I go to bed so I put the stress of the day out of my mind, and I also enjoy scrapbooking that brings back memories of a good time. However, my room is currently set up for quilting and when I get that caught up, will switch to scrapbooks. But by then my baby will be in college so I can just use his room for one and switch back and forth--LOL
