    How true this is. Last year I not only had my husband, but I also had my aged Mother. God took her home last year in May. It was difficult sitting with her 24/7 for the last 15 days. She was a force to be recond with.I miss her dearly and can't help but think she chose to die to ease my burdens. She was 93. My husband was about to go through an entire summer of radiation treatment. She knew exactly what that was going to entail, because she took care of my oldest sister when she went through radiation.
    I have had many God things happen in my life in the pat 18 +- months. I am greatful for everyone of them.I am now going to be a Grandma myself for the first time. So, you know I have plenty to sew. Praise be to God!

    Quilting has saved me many times. I'm glad it gives you comfort too.

    So true! I find you must clear the mind of everything to concentrate on the process and that seems to be very calming

    Hang in there. Remember life is a test. There are some things we cannot change. Good luck with your father and the changes you and DH are looking at. My prayers and best wishes are coming your way. Try to look for the good. Keep up that therapy. Do not forget to take care of YOU!

    Hugs

    Prayers for All. Sewing for therapy? are you kidding.... IT is my lifeline to staying sane and thin. Just try eating greasy chips while working on those beautiful Hoffman batiks or fab Robt. Kaufmans.No way!
    I love my 3 machines, I love my 3 machines. Good for us to have such an exciting and meaningful hobby that fills our lives with freinds, happiness , soothes our souls and keeps us sane. Pegeth

    Yes, yes, yes, it is the very best therapy. I know what you mean by your description of the hum of the machine and the feel of the fabric. I love it. Very calming and soothing. Crocheting does that for me too.
