fixed upon it

on the slowness of textile work and the importance of a focal point

Today’s post is exclusive to "the Just Because Club." In this post, I explore the connection between mending and healing, the importance of a focal point in both life and quilting, and how these practices help us find meaning and contentment.

Key takeaways:

• Mending and healing are slow, deliberate processes that may bring deeper satisfaction than quick fixes.

• Keeping a closed system with our belongings offers mental relief and a sense of stewardship.

• A focal point in life and quilting provides direction and purpose, keeping us grounded.

• Spirituality and quilting are intertwined, with each step in the process offering lessons for intentional living.

• Staying "fixed upon it"—whether it’s a belief, goal, or guiding principle—helps bring the bigger picture into focus.
