    I find it hard to get motivated to sew alone. I usually get side tracked and end up not sewing.

    I was just wondering what many of you do. Do you attend quilting groups, get together with friends or like to sew alone?

    I sew alone, but my kids are right there with suggestions of what they would like next.

    I do both. I sew at home in the evenings and on weekends, but if a get together is planned, I am there. Our guild has a Sew-In at least once a month, either on a Saturday or in the evening, and we just had our first retreat. Also, at least one meeting each quarter is a sewing meeting. We bring handwork (applique, binding, etc.) and sit and sew and talk.

    I sew alone. I probably wouldn't get much done with someone else here.

    I sew alone cause that way I am not distracted, nor would I want someone suggesting that I not do it my way but theirs.

    I sew alone. I can't get anything accomplished when sewing with a group.
