It can be a stress reliever, too, as my daughter found while working on small projects in doctors' offices and hospital waiting rooms when her husband had cancer.

It brought to my mind the huge quilts that were made to help and to honor AIDS sufferers and their families. You put it so well, "Throughout the ages, women seem to have found handwork comforting and often turned to this for their own need as well as to provide something of value for others." ... and the value lives on, doesn't it? Fascinating Mary Emma.
