As long as what you love does something to make you happy go for it and come back to sewing/quilting later or not at all if that's what you want. I really hope that's the case.
However I'm going to to add something different. If you find that what makes you happy is to sit staring at the walls all day and you can't remember what you were thinking about OR if you don't want to get out of bed, please consider that you may be suffering from depression and find someone to talk to be it MD, counselor, priest or minister. Only you and possibly your family or close friend know whether or not that subject is in play.
What ever you decide, I wish you all the best. Joyce in DE
