Art Needlepoint had this fantastic quote from a customer on Facebook recently.
“I love to needlepoint because it is very soothing – filling in an area, keeping it firm and even, is a lot like meditating. It is fun to create something from nothing – a near-blank hole-y fabric becomes a cushion-y image on fabric. And it can easily be made very personal with thoughtful embellishments or stitch choice. Or thoughtless choice, if that is your mood! ”
I know this expresses my feelings. Most of all I love it when I don’t have an urgent deadline hanging over my head or it’s a Sunday so I can pick a needlepoint that soothes my soul and relaxes me.
Be sure to stitch today (and every day)!
