It also calms me. Quilting gives me more of a feeling of &quot;centeredness&quot; (don&#39;t know how to describe it) along with a sense of accomplishment. I definitely do not feel as happy or serene when I go long periods of not doing some handwork. <br /><br />Thank you for this post, Lisa, because to learn there are actual scientific reasons behind the fact that I&#39;m advantageously affected by knitting or sewing or quilting reinforces the real psychological changes I feel when doing same.Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3748043061128192357.post-90333598922130753342014-03-17T12:17:40.096-04:002014-03-17T12:17:40.096-04:00I&#39;ve yet to figure out either knitting or crocheting. There&#39;s something about a right handed person (daughter) trying to teach a left handed person (me) that doesn&#39;t result in success! Cross stitching, though, I can do that with ease and find it calming and satisfying. Now, if I only knew what to do with all those finished projects.Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06119414203044028919[email protected]
