Several years ago there was an article about the health benefits of sewing. I'm a believer!

Any quilter I knew personally growing up in the small town I was raised was well into their 80s. They were still doing for themselves; cooking, cleaning, laundry, ironing, and sewing. They usually got up very early to get chores done and were quilting by 8:00 a.m. So yep I agree.
