I also sew alone. I don't have any friends that sew or quilt. I get that fix from this board. I'd love to have quilting friends to get together with every now and then, but... I'm no magician, lol. So, I talk to myself, listen to music and occasionally my dog will join me. So, if you think about it, none of us are really alone. There's always at least three of us in the room. "Me, Myself, & I". LOL!!
