I saw something either here on the board or in one of the latest quilting magazines about a growing movement called Slow Sewing or something like that. Now that machines are so computerized and everything is so fast paced, some people feel they are losing their connection to the process when working to get things done as quickly as possible. It's basically about slowing down and enjoying the process of sewing and quilting and not rushing to get things done just for the sake of getting things done. I have always been a slow sewer and will continue to be so. I know everyone is different and slow sewing is not for everyone. But if you find you are not enjoying quilting as much as you used to, try slowing down and be mindful and in the moment when you sew. You may find your sewing becomes alive again.
