Absolutely.
More than relaxing and rewarding. I find it almost spooky, how it seems with each stitch to "tie" me to my ancestral roots. After the first few hours of struggling to learn, all of a sudden I looked up at the clock and it was in the wee hours of the morning. And it happened to me every time I sat down to quilt.
My elderly aunt told me that they used to have to MAKE my grandmother stop quilting to come and eat. Now I understand. That's her picture, as the mom, in my avatar.
Of course, my home has not been cleaned since I started the project!!!
