Si vous cherchez un moyen de déstresser, et que vous aimez les activités manuelles, essayer le quilting peut être une bonne idée.
Quilter est amusant, thérapeutique, créatif, relaxant, stimulant... et peut-être encore plus surprenant, c'est une activité sociale.

If you're looking for a way to relieve stress and have an aptitude for crafts, maybe you should give quilting a try.
Quilting is fun, therapeutic, creative, relaxing, challenging... and maybe most surprisingly of all, it’s a social activity.

Quilting as an art form, therapy and social glue, by Tom Oder

Le quilting peut être un anti-stress incroyable. La concentration entraîne la relaxation, la relaxation encourage la créativité.
Un article du très sérieux Journal of Public Health, The relationship between quilting and wellbeing d'Emily L. Burt et Jacqueline Atkinson (Volume 34, Issue 1, 1 March 2012, Pages 54–59), conclu que les loisirs créatifs comme le quilting peuvent être un véhicule significatif pour améliorer le bien-être. Cette étude jette les bases d’une recherche plus poussée sur la créativité, les loisirs créatifs et les loisirs en général.

  1. 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

  5. I'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.

    Nice job on finishing this 10th Challenge! Thanks for being a part of this year's event.

  7. Bonjour, 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!

  8. Merci pour tous tes articles relatifs au tour de l'alphabet du quilting.
    J'ai tiré un enseignement de certains et d'autres ne m'étaient pas inconnus. En tout cas, ils étaient tous très intéressants?

  9. I can imagine quilting can be very Zen.

    I 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

  20. Great 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!
