I was going through a very difficult time with one of my daughters who at that time was seriously ill with an eating disorder (she is now recovered thank God) and all my time was revolved around her and visiting her in hospital when I saw an advert for a beginners quilt class just for a few hours on a saturday - so feeling incredibly selfish I signed up - it gave me space from all the problems and I found then as I still do 10 years on very theraputic .
