I too sew alone. That is unless the 3 DGS's are "helping" grandma make her stuff. The 6 year old always thinks that everything I make is going to be for him. That is until today. I am making a Barbie quilt for my niece's daughter (who is 2 weeks younger than him) for Xmas and when he saw it he turned his nose up and said "I don't want Barbie's on my quilt" and walked away. Maybe now I can get some stuff done.
