Quilting as Leisure: Why I Quilt
The following is a first-person account of a recreation/leisure activity. As you read the account, think about your recreation activities. Ask yourself how you see this as leisure and how you don't see it as leisure. Compare it to what you do for recreation. One of the discoveries you will make in this text is that leisure is varied and its value or worth is frequently determined by the individual participant.
I have been sewing for over 50 years. I've always enjoyed sewing. There is a great satisfaction from creating something from a flat piece of fabric. I like how I feel when I take different pieces, colors, and patterns of fabric and organize them into something beautiful-and sometimes useful.
My first attempts at quilting were pretty basic, consisting of two pieces of material and sandwiched between them a piece of batting (cotton wadding for use in quilts) and all of it tied together by yarn at 5- to 6-inch intervals across the fabric. I didn't just jump into quilting and spend all of my time doing it. I had seven children to raise so oftentimes quilting was put aside for days and weeks at a time or done after everyone else had gone to bed. As my children got older and were less demanding, I found more time to quilt.
All the children have their own families now and I'm able to devote more time to my quilting. I make quilts for children and grandchildren graduating, new grandchildren, other special occasions, for friends, and sometimes for me! When my oldest grandson died in an accident I made a quilt for his two brothers and when a granddaughter broke her arm, she too needed a quilt to help her feel better. Quilting is a way for me to share my self and my love with others. It also makes me feel good when I visit and see my quilts in my children's homes.
Why do I quilt When I quilt I feel happy. Quilting makes me feel good about myself. It's like a release from other things going on in my life. It allows me to bring order by organizing groups of fabrics to a structured and planned piece. A big part of quilting is finding fabric. I enjoy finding fabrics that speak to me through colors, patterns, and prints. I can envision how they will blend together in a quilt. I feel like an artist using fabric and colors, creating designs and patterns. I usually only work on one project at a time, but I have several other projects I'm thinking about and conceptually planning. Some of these I draw to get a feel for how they will look. You may find different quilt drawings scattered in various rooms of my home. So, not only am I working with my hands, but I'm keeping my mind agile with the planning and anticipation.
I want my quilts to bring joy to others, to celebrate events, to comfort, and to give beauty. In doing this I feel a sense of accomplishment, of helping others, and joy!
When you participate in recreation how are your feelings and motivations similar or different to those described in this case study Why do you think they might be different

التوضيح
Case synopsis:
The given case reveals the influence of leisure activity in the life of an individual. This case is about an individual who spends leisure time in sewing. She completed fifty years of sewing. She started with basic quilting. In the time her children grew up, she worked after all had gone to bed. Now, she has sufficient time to spend for sewing. In this stage, she tries to share the joy of sewing to other people.
Time is usually utilized for recreation:
Recreation is to reorder mindset of an individual. Recreation activities reduce stress of an individual. The major time of life is expended with work environment. However, in leisure time an individual likes to spend in activities that he mostly likes. It can provide pleasure to human mind and body. Hence, an individual usually uses " leisure time" for recreational activities.
Difference in feeling and motivation of an individual reference to described case:
In the given case, she like to engage her most of the time for sewing. However in the family life, she found time to engage for sewing after all the children had went to bed. Hence, sewing activity is very important in her life. That is also a motivational factor in her life. However, an individual considers such recreation activities to engage his/her leisure time.
Hence, an individual fails to consider recreation as a routine activity or does not find time from daily life to engage in recreation. He spends time when he gets free. It means recreation is not a motivational factor to the individual. It is only a temporary relaxation and feeling to an individual. These are the difference in feeling and motivation of an individual.
