I enjoy sewing alone or with friends. When I'm at home I want to be alone. I don't want anyone else in my sewing room. Tried that once and rulers, fabric, books, notions, rotary cutters, thread, etc. kept disappearing. Now only dd and two of my sisters are allowed to go through my stash.
However, I love my sewing clubs, BOMs and retreats at Threads of Time in Danville, Il.
