Penny said...: Oh yes, stitching of any sort, using our hands, losing ourselves in fabric, yarn, threads and such can all be so fulfilling -- and quite healing. I'm sending healing thoughts to you every day.; October 28, 2011 at 1:49 PM
Hoola Tallulah said...: This is fascinating. I kind of discovered this for myself only a short while ago, when I had post natal depression. It was a difficult time and whilst in the throes of it, I signed up to one of Jude Hills workshops. Stitching allowed me to focus on something better, it stopped my negative thoughts in their tracks, I was so lost in the moment that nothing else mattered, and the colour, wow, it made me feel so much better. I still haven't finished the cloth I started, I work on it a little here and there (such is slow cloth), but it is a very precious piece to me, a poignant reminder of bad times turned good. Thanks for sharing such great links :) The slow cloth is posted on my blog over last winter, if you care to take a peak. Best wishes to you, keep stitching <3; October 28, 2011 at 2:50 PM
Tangled Stitch said...: Stitching is a wonderful thing. It can take the worst days and the worst moods and make them better. It allows us to meditate and find our centers in a sometimes too cluttered mind. Blessings to you, thanks for the link and keep on stitchin.; October 28, 2011 at 3:41 PM
