Thought you might be interested, as I was, to read about a study undertaken by the University of Glasgow, that finds that quilting is good for your health.

More readable though, is the article in a national paper earlier this month.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/ar...y-good-us.html

I don't think their findings will come as any surprise to members of this board, but thought you might like to know they've proved what we've probable known all along.
Happy quilting!! :thumbup:

It most definitely helped my health, I started quilting when my kids were teenagers. It was either quilt or drink heavily.!!!
