Quilting is my sanity saver and it's much cheaper than therapy or drugs. I've always had a very busy sometimes hectic and stressful life, so I needed something to give me some down time. An added benefit was that it is a good use of my time and has produced some wonderful gifts. I only stitch what I want to make and won't make commissions for anyone. That way I have no restrictions and can share my quilts with those I please. I've been stitching since I was nine and my DD says that when she hears that I no longer want to quilt or sew than it will be time to send me to live in "the Home!"
