I've always been a loner & at this age, it won't change.Maybe some ppl are predesposed to getting into any interest big time, not just quilting?I'm sorry for your loss.

This was pre-internet times & quilting became such an obsession that all she did was quilt & work. She became isolated from any local friends. I don't know if this would still be true if she had gotten involved with the internet connections we have today. I have met & helped so many quilters as I send her 2,500 quilt books all over the world. Sites like this QB are a blessing for the many people like my sister who do not get out & about.
