I take quilting seriously...it has saved my sanity on more than one occasion. There have been personal trials that I could not have survived, had it not been for my family, my faith, and being able to loose myself in quilting. There is a really interesting article in Find Articles.com entitled Negotiating Time and Space for Serious Leisure: Quilting in the Modern U.S. Home. http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qa3702/is_200601/ai_n16123553/print
This is a lengthy article, but if you have the time, it is definitely worth the read.
Enjoy!

Thanks for the link to the article. I've been quilting for several years and I still feel guilty that I'm up in my room sewing rather than being with my family (husband). ;-)
