Is quilting a solitary activity for you?
#83
I enjoy quilting with others, but it seems like a lot of trouble to pack all my stuff up and take it out of my sewing room. And I usually forget something! I do love to "drop in" and see what others are working on.

I usually quilt by myself. I've tried going to groups, but there is usually more talking than quilting. Also, I prefer staying at home to quilt because I ALWAYS manage to leave something at home. If it's a tool, I can just borrow one from a buddy, but more times than not, it's a fabric that I forget. LOL

I quilt at home alone mostly, I do however take classes at my LQS and do that once a week. It gets me out of the house and I get to spend 3 hours with some incredible women who I now call my friends including our instructors. Our shop owner is amazing too if class isn't in session and you are finishing up a quilt and need a big space to lay everything out you can come in and use the classroom space at no charge. Our store The Running Stitch has actually been selected by Better Homes and Gardens feature for their September issue Quilt Sampler Magazine.

I have to admit, I quilt alone. I've tried two of the local quilt guilds and quite frankly I found them unfriendly. They don't seem to realize that not everyone who comes to join has a friend there. I'm new at quilting and shy and would have loved it if someone would have shown me the ropes. I attended more than one meeting at each guild but, regretably, I won't be going back.
