It is my escape. From work, the television, the telephone.. the world outside.
When I am hunting for the perfect fabric, pattern, design, etc..... then planning and cutting..... the sewing it back together... the whole process is an escape to peace and quiet, a chance to be creative and unique.
A sense of accomplishment and wonderment when finished.
A feeling of joy when presented to a loved one as a gift or a charity for the needy.
Contentment when covered and warmed by something I made myself.
