Is it a form of art, a craft, or a hobby for you? I want to know what you guys and gals think!
For me, it's a hobby that i want to perfect and make it into a work of art. It allows me to express myself in a way that I wouldn't be able to do otherwise. I can play with color and designs and it just makes me happy :). |

for me its an art and my only source of income.

It's art when you create something from nothing. The big plus for me,it's my therapy. It helps me control my blood pressure. So it's win win.
|
It's my passion. The cares of the world go out the window when I get to my machine and fabrics:)
|
It is my escape. From work, the television, the telephone.. the world outside.
When I am hunting for the perfect fabric, pattern, design, etc..... then planning and cutting..... the sewing it back together... the whole process is an escape to peace and quiet, a chance to be creative and unique. A sense of accomplishment and wonderment when finished. A feeling of joy when presented to a loved one as a gift or a charity for the needy. Contentment when covered and warmed by something I made myself. |
It's almost an obsession for me! It does allow my creative juices to flow so I would say it's an art form. I wouldn't call it a hobby because I never stick with hobbies but once quilting gets in your blood you are almost hook for life.
|
Art, passion, obsession. Stress relief. I even have a physical response to fabric I love - it literally jumps out and says, "take me home".
|
I am loving these responses! You all are so inspiring :).

I am a new quilter. I think it is a way for me to stay connected to my mom and my grandma. They are both quilters - so it is in my blood. I love everything about fabric. I enjoy creating something for people I love.
My grandkids and I had a picnic today on my first quilt. I can't explain the awesome feeling I had. |
