You are so right about quilting being therapy. I use it to escape the sadness,anger, tragedy and bull that I see everyday at work. I find at least 30 minutes everyday to do something quilty or sewing related. When I am in my sewing/ bedroom I listen to Radio Classics on my Sirius radio, unless I am doing some free motion quilting then I switch to some music and sew to the beat...I find that it keeps me steady and smooth.
