I quilt by myself (other than kids and/or bf in the same room as me). I belonged to a church group that quilted together, and I have gone to one class (very much enjoyed). I have one friend that quilts, but doesnt currently quilt because of time constraints. I enjoy quilting alone, and my family and this board always are very helpful with giving opinions and helping with questions. I would like to go on a quilting retreat, but more for the uninterrupted time for quilting than the socializing. I love my quilting time, and dont mind to do it by myself. :)
