All by my lonesome. :wink: I don't mind it, though. Sewing is meditative for me. I do have a dear friend who lives next door to me, and this summer we were both working on some applique blocks. One day she brought hers over, and we sat on the patio (she on the swing and me on the bench) and did some stitching. We chatted and stitched, stitched and chatted. It was so nice and relaxing. 8-)
