In spite of my fabric addiction it's still cheaper than therapy. Well, maybe... LOL Actually it IS my therapy. I work in human services with a very vulnerable at-risk population and after a day like I've had yesterday and today, it relaxes me and helps me feel a sense of accomplishment even if we weren't so successful with the clients. For instance, yesterday we had a series of crises and drama at work and I left wondering what I could have done differently/better. I came home and sequestered myself in my sewing/bedroom, put some music on and spent 3 hours finishing the piecing together of a quilt top for my brother. I felt like "yes, I can accomplish SOMETHING. I WILL have this done in time for his birthday." And besides, quilting is just plain fun!
