"I think some kinds of sewing would be nice; but there's no scope for imagination in patchwork.

It's just one little seam after another and you never seem to be getting anywhere.

But of course I'd rather be Anne of Green Gables sewing patchwork than Anne of any other place with nothing to do but play.

I wish time went as quick sewing patches as it does when I'm playing with Diana, though.

Oh, we do have such elegant times, Marilla.
