I taught quilting for years and part of my intro was that quilting is therapy. However, as far a diet is concerned I feel that basic supplies include diet soda and M & M's are necessary equipment. If you have a craving for popcorn while watching a movie, put it into a large bowl and eat it with a soup spoon to avoid getting it on your hands.
Enjoy!

PS--I don't teach any more, except for my grandchildren. These days I just quilt for people I love. :D
