I don't think quilting can make you a loner. You're either a loner or not. I'm a home body. However, at times I crave some socialization. My DH and I have been in this town going on 5 years and have not met any friends. We're retired. My DH is very outgoing and I'm more reserved around people. I LOVE to meet outgoing people because they bring me out of my shell. Just started quilting, it's so fun and this QB is my new friend.
