The objective of the final work was to find out why patchwork attracts people and why it gives pleasure to patchwork enthusiasts. The target group consisted of five members of the Patchwork Guild Crazy, including the author. The objective was to chart out experiences related to patchwork making and the guild members' feedback of the Patchwork Guild's first exhibition. The final work deals with the Guild's artistic product as well as the exhibition. On the basis of the members' feedback proposals, a framework for an action plan was drawn in order to develop the activities of the Guild. Various research methods were used, namely participatory research method, reflection, observation, interviews, inquiry, analysis of contents, and qualitative case study. The first questionnaire was sent to the club members via e-mail and that was the medium used for answering the inquiry. An interview was made on the basis of the feedback from the first inquiry concerning the exhibition. After the exhibition, a proposal for an action plan was drafted based on the feelings about the exhibition. There is a common action plan concerning the whole club as well as an individual plan for each member. Twenty patchworks were exhibited by four members of the guild in the Burts Tea & Coffee Shop from 1 Nov - 28 Nov 2004. The works were realised during the previous year and various techniques were applied to them. The techniques were combined creatively. The results brought out the positive influence of patchwork and handicraft on well-being. It is important to find a suitable way and place how and where to develop oneself further as a craftsman, artist and human being. The importance of self-making and making a whole piece of craftwork from the beginning to the final piece stood out. The model of the patchwork guild can be copied to develop the action plan of any other handicraft- or art guild. The activities of the patchwork guild investigated were goal-oriented, moreover masters and critics can be found within one's own club. Social interaction is an invaluable human asset of such activities. The author took part in the phenomenon investigated as a participatory observer, reporter and member of the club. It all increases the validity of the results even though the target group was small.
