I do both. I just love to quilt. When I got started with quilting my husband had signed me up at a famous quilt place that just happened to be close by. After some time I decided to start my own group. We now meet on Thursday evening. Some of the people I or my DD tought to sew and quilt and some already quilted. At this point some people come without a machine or project because they jsut want to unload. This is OK too but I always want to sew as that is therapeutic for me. We also go to quilt shows together and do in home quilt retreat. It is all free and you do not have to follow any technique or style. I do sew on my own alot often very late at night or ealry in the morning when I can't sleep. Often one of my children will be sewing with me or doing home work so I guess I do enjoy company when I sew. Anna
