My standard response is similar to Clay's "It's doing the ironing that takes patience. I thoroughly enjoy doing this so it doesn't take patience." The penny seems to drop instantly. I also tell them that for me, making lace can get rid of a tension headache.

I'm afraid that the more I demonstrate, the more I have standard responses, and I feel awfully sorry for the other textile artists with whom I share a set of tables, and who can now give my standard responses for me :) There is huge delight when I get a question I haven't heard before!!

"What takes patience, for me, is cleaning the bathroom." I can see immediately then, that they "get it". If it's something you love - regardless of how complicated or involved the process is - then it does not take patience.
