I agree to say that it de-stresses me. I can be in my own little world. Everyone at work thinks I am crazy when I say I will go home to relax while I quilt. And I agree that I have a hard time leaving the house when I really need to be in the garden. :) I started quilting after my mother died suddenly 6 years ago. She taught us 3 girls to sew. I also did the 4-H, Home Ec, etc thing.
HAPPY QUILTING!
