Quilting when you're angry/hurt/upset
#21
I did that some of that myself this morning. My ex decided a couple days ago he was going to go on my Trench (the Kittie board's equivilant of a Personal Journal thread) and let me know what he thought of me

Sounds to me like he is convicting himself out of his own mouth and you don't need to reply because anybody reading his remarks will know what kind of person he is!!

Woke up this morning after having nightmares. Remembered the crap with the ex. Suddenly I felt like cutting the fabric I have been putting off. It was a little more satisfying to use that rotary cutter. :thumbup:

Perhaps seeing a finished block you pieced gives you enough joy to not worry what's bugging you. Or maybe cutting fabric with the rotary cutter (with new blades) gives just a little bit more satisfaction while doing it when you're ticked at somebody or about something.

I certainly understand your frustration with your ex. In the past 8 months my life has bellied up and now I have an ex too. Mine also lies, lies, lies. There are times when I would like to get on the Internet and tell the world about him but I don't because it's just not a wise thing to do. This man has made my life miserable with his lies. I am a professional longer armer and I can't work when annoyed so I am completely shut down right now. There isn't much you can do about a person like this. I figure sooner or later they'll get their just reward.

Sewing is good therapy, but I've learned that if I'm really upset to stay away from my sewing room. To many things to get hurt on and ruin. I went 4 days a couple of weeks ago and didnt sew one stitch. I straighten up my sewing room but I knew it was best not to turn on a machine. I did some hand piecing instead, working on a grandmothers flower garden.

LOL you can tell by my windows I do not get angry very often!! LOL it works for me, works all my mad out, then when I am too pooped to work up any more mad I can go sew and be nice and relaxed.
I do not want to be around any sharp pins, needles, or rotery cutters when I am mad, I could get hurt, really hurt, and I so do not like pain!
