That's one of the reasons I started quilting - I can be with my husband and get something done at the same time. There are movies I've "watched" where I've never seen some of the action, LOL.
It's a wonderful, cozy thing to do during the winter. I use a floor frame for most of my quilting, but when it gets cold there are days when I really wish I could quilt in a hoop just to be warm. I have hoops that are 14", 18" and 22" - I used the biggest one on large quilts so I wouldn't have to move the hoop so often. And I thread basted because I hate pinning.
