I do both and enjoy each. I love going and looking at what the other ladies are doing and I like the chit chat. I am relatively new in the area and it isn't very easy to make friends here probably because I am a widow and retired. Most of the women still have husbands around. I was very active in NJ and NY and really miss all of my friends but I am close to my family now which makes it worth it. I quilt alone a lot while I listen to music whether I have a few minutes or many hours. This board has been a great place for me and I have learned a lot here.
