Because I can! Sewing is a hobby, a pastime, an opportunity to slow down a bit and think your own thoughts and relax and enjoy. It is giving of your time and creativity to your family and friends. it is time for YOU to just BE. We don't always have to be rushing and doing for others in high gear. It is like golf, or any other hobby, and you get a result that can be shared with others. You don't need a REASON to quilt. My husband collects and repairs old pocket watches. He has over 200 of them in cases that are runable but he looks at his phone to see what time it is! It's a hobby, it's a pastime. Something he can do when he just wants to sit and be quiet. So is quilting, or embroidery, or knitting. I don't think we need to justify it to anyone at any time for any reason.
