Quotes by Jennie Batchelor (?)

“Needlework is a retreat from the white noise of everyday life. It is also, crucially, a choice rather than the social requirement it was for women in the 18th and 19th centuries...It is not something we do because we don't have better things to do with our time, but because we find it a creative, mindful and stimulating activity that lets our minds wander as our fingers track over what we're working on.”
― Jennie Batchelor, Jane Austen Embroidery: Regency Patterns Reimagined for Modern Stitchers
