I believe it!
I've recently realized that quilting can be good physical exercise as well! I have been working on a quilt that is lying in pieces in an upstairs bedroom that now serves as our guest room.
I bring two adjoining pieces downstairs to sew on my downstairs sewing machine...
Then I run back upstairs to replace the block - and pick up another two pieces. After two days of doing this - running up and down the stairs dozens of times a day (and not even thinking about the word "exercise"), I have actually lost a few pounds, even though I have consumed more calories... (Yes, unfortunately I have to keep track of things like that - and my blood sugar levels as well!)
The other alternative is to lay the quilt pieces all over the living room floor - where Terry has to tread carefully when walking around.
Keeping the unfinished quilt on an upstairs bed is more convenient for us all. Plus good exercise!
I think I'll keep that up... Why didn't I start doing this years ago?!
