There’s something very basic about making a quilt.
Something therapeutic that relaxes the person during the artistic expression of creating.
Something exciting that carries you away to a place of pride and satisfaction.
There in your hands you have something that is of comfort that this small ritual has performed.
A Quilt.
Studies have shown that when one is sewing, our brain releases dopamine an antidepressant which elicits an almost euphoric opium type effect. Your statements are so true!
i agree with you Pam, a quilt can transport you away into a world of enchantment that is soothing and very present for the mind and soul. I think it is the therapeutic and smooth movement of hands making something or is the mind allow to fall into a peaceful rhythm of its own that allows us to rest in this quiet sanctuary.
