Piecing Fabrics - Mending Lives Quotes

“The time spent with fabric, needle and thread is precious to a woman in a closed community. The task presents a time to think private thoughts. As Kelly Martinez expresses the quilting experience: “Slow stitching means setting aside time to find myself somewhere in the thread and spread myself out on a piece of fabric.” The intricacy of the Amish comforter attests to the value of quiet work.”
