I worked for three hours on a sashiko stitching project that I had been given as a gift at market. Just before we landed, the husband of the wife sitting next to me, said “What IS she doing??” and the wife said, “I think she’s stitching” to which he replied, “WHY?” Right then, at that moment, I knew why. I knew I was stitching for my own personal satisfaction, to create, and fall into a rhythm that passéd the time away – the three hour trip from Kansas City to Los Angeles felt like 15 minutes! Sometimes I wish everyone could sit and stitch together – we would all like each other so much better!

Thank you for sharing your experience and insights.
