I found this lovely quotation from The Ladies Work Table Book 1845 and thought it was as true today as it was then:

"Useful and ornamental needlework, knitting and netting, are capable of being made not only sources of personal gratification, but of high moral benefit and the means of developing and surpassing loveliness and grace, some of the highest and noblest feelings of the soul."  author unknown
