Hi Frederique! I absolutely agree that quilting definitely does relieve stress, and can make you feel quite zen. Anything that you enjoy doing and that you can focus on can make you forget other issues for a bit. ~smile~ Roseanne
RépondreSupprimerWhat a wonderful way to wrap up the A-Z challenge! Congratulations on completing it on such a high note.
RépondreSupprimerThank you Wendy, I appreciate your sweet comments!
SupprimerThanks for participating in the AtoZchallenge! I enjoyed your AtoZ posts on quilting and really appreciated you visiting and commenting on my blog as well. Jackie's Bookbytes Letter Z
RépondreSupprimerIt was such a fun point of the Challenge, visiting blogs! I enjoyed a lot visiting yours and trying to figure who from GoT was featured ;)
SupprimerI learned a lot more about quilting than I knew before. Congrats on making it to the end.
RépondreSupprimerCongratulations to you too! I'm glad if I was a little useful ;P
SupprimerI've heard others talk about the therapeutic nature of activities like quilting. I can see it. Hard to do something like this without sitting quietly and just focusing.
RépondreSupprimerNice job on finishing this 10th Challenge! Thanks for being a part of this year's event.

Thank you so much Zalka! I enjoyed a lot your fruit folktales, always great stories!
SupprimerBonjour, Frederique! I agree so much that quilting helps relieve stress! My husband will tell me to go to the therapy room (sewing room) whenever I'm feeling particularly stressed! I also like to do my hand stitching in the evening (and sometimes hand sewing down binding will replace that) to help calm my mind before bed time. These crafts are wonderful!
RépondreSupprimerYour husband is so right, the sewing room is the therapy room ;)
SupprimerMerci pour tous tes articles relatifs au tour de l'alphabet du quilting.
RépondreSupprimerJ'ai tiré un enseignement de certains et d'autres ne m'étaient pas inconnus. En tout cas, ils étaient tous très intéressants?
Merci Monique, c'est très gentil ! J'ai essayé de faire une petite encyclopédie, sans prétentions ;-)
SupprimerI can imagine quilting can be very Zen.
RépondreSupprimerI make things with cardboard and wood and draw from time to time, but I usually mutter and tell myself off for making errors. I dont think I am a Zen sort of chap
Well the A to Z is complete and we can relax and pursue our blogs at a more Zen like pace.
Thanks for passing by and I wish you a long and happy blog full of wondrous fabrics and designs

SupprimerJust found these, but I am sure I'm going to love going through all the posts. Been a quilter for 33 years.
RépondreSupprimer33 years? My, a lot of quilts ;)
SupprimerI tuned in on Z, so I guess I missed a few. I love the banner: cut,sew, press, repeat!
RépondreSupprimerHi Claire, no it's ok, only 25 missed ;)) Thank you for visiting!
SupprimerHello Frederique. It was a pleasure coming across an artist of your caliber. Keep on with your wonderfully creative work. Hope to catch up next year. :)
RépondreSupprimerThank you Sunita for your sweet and kind comment! Yes, I will come and read your poems next year!
SupprimerYes, I learned so very much on your site this A to Z, and I'm glad to have found you. Thank you for participating so I could! Hope to visit your part of the world some day... Happy May 1st!

Hmmm, I think I will stay with my machine for quilting. Great post.
RépondreSupprimerI couldn't agree more that quilting is a stress reliever! It's always been that way for me, as well as very therapeutic!
RépondreSupprimerDefinitely a stress reliever!
RépondreSupprimerGreat finale to your alphabet of quilting. Quilting is a good stress reliever, that's how I got into it. Funny to think someone has actually written a paper about it, I'll have to look into that!
RépondreSupprimerI was wondering what you were going to do for Z. Writing is my zen for sure! Thanks for sharing on Wednesday Wait Loss.
RépondreSupprimerI have enjoyed your posts tremendously Frédérique as well as enjoying your help and comments on my blog too. I will continue to follow you - Au Revoir mon bon ami x
