Hand piecing is like hand embroidery, keeps the hands busy and the mind too. There is a time for everything, and joining my husband evenings to watch tv or talk, I can do two things at once. Sitting in front of a sewing machine is fine if you want to be alone, but making quilts and being with loved ones is better still. And so calming to the nerves too, you have to calm down to do hand work of any kind. Better than pills.
