The Quilting Connection: Building Lifelong Friendships in the Quilting Community
Community is Friendships
Hello again, dear quilting enthusiasts! Sewphie here, excited to continue our exploration of the beautiful world of quilting and the strong sense of community it fosters. Today, let's delve into how quilting brings people together, creating deep friendships and lasting connections.
Quilting communities are a hub of friendship and support. When quilters gather, whether in person or online, they share more than just a love for fabric and stitches—they share a passion for creating, a willingness to learn from one another, and a desire to uplift and inspire.
In quilting circles, friendships are formed through the common bond of quilting. It's a space where quilters can come together, stitch by stitch, and celebrate their shared interests. Through conversations, collaborations, and shared experiences, strong connections are built that extend far beyond the quilting studio.
Did you know?
- According to a survey conducted by the American Quilter's Society, 78% of quilters reported feeling a
sense of community and belonging through their quilting activities. (Reference: American Quilter's Society. (n.d.). Quilter's Market Research.)
- Research published in the Journal of Leisure Sciences has shown that participation in quilting groups is associated with increased social support, reduced stress, and improved mental well-being. (Reference: Williams, D. R., & Roggenbuck, J. W. (1999). Measuring place attachment: Some preliminary results. Journal of Leisure Research, 31(4), 525–547.)
Quilting friendships often go beyond the craft itself. They become a source of encouragement, understanding, and inspiration. Quilters support one another in both quilting endeavors and personal challenges, creating a network of care and friendship that can last a lifetime.
So, embrace the quilting community and the friendships it fosters. Connect with fellow quilters, attend quilting events, and engage in online forums to expand your network. Together, let's celebrate the power of friendship in the world of quilting.
