My mom and I quilted separately but compared notes and talked on the phone a lot. Also traded fabrics and helped each other with color choices. Now she is gone but my second daughter quilts and we get to do the same things. It is a real joy for me and I think she feels the same. We do not live in the same town but do try to get together at least for one weekend each summer and quilt, quilt, quilt. We did it last year and plan to do it again this summer. Other than that I am a loner!
