Quilting saved my life, literally. During a very bad time in my life I saw a quilt show on TV that inspired me to make a memory quilt for my children. The memory being me. You get the picture. Long story short, they loved it, encouraged me to make more and I'm still here. It gave me something to do with all the misplaced emotions and energies. I guess you could say I quilted away my worries and stress. Quilting replaced the prescribed medicines to keep me sane. I'm now prescription free and what some would call somewhat sane....LOL. Years later I read John Flynn's bio and he too battled with depression and his quilting and classical music help him through it. For those of you that don't know John look him up. It made me feel better to know that I wasn't the only crazy quilter out there!
