借鉴非结构化的采访70名美国妇女绗缝，我检查他们的经验和阻力，他们从事的行为，而认真的休闲绗缝的休闲约束。尽管绗缝是一种女性化和性别化的活动，但在传统的异性恋家庭中，仍然存在影响绗缝的时间和空间限制。妇女抵制这种限制和性别关系的陈规定型观念，因为她们追求严肃的休闲绗缝。他们首先为自己缝被子，其次以性别化的方式管理家庭和亲属的需求（例如，能巩固与家人和朋友感情纽带的礼物）。作为一项严肃的休闲活动，绗缝凸显了女性如何接受、再现和谈判家庭中的传统性别观念。
Drawing on unstructured interviews with 70 American women quilters, I examine both the leisure constraints they experience and the acts of resistance they engage in while practicing serious leisure quilting. Even though quilting is a feminized and gendered activity, there are still time and space constraints in the traditional heterosexual family which impact quilting. Women resist such constraints and stereotypical notions of gender relations as they pursue serious leisure quilting. They quilt first for themselves, and second to administer to family and kin needs in gendered ways (e.g., gifts that cement emotional ties to family and friends). As a serious leisure activity, quilting highlights how women accept, reproduce, and negotiate traditional notions of gender in families.
