Like so many of you I do much better alone. Apart of me wants to group sew, even joined the local quilt guild but work gets in the way of that. I have another friend who is a professional quilter & has invited me several times to sew with her & her group,and I have gone but mainly just to get to know everyone. I am just one of those people if there is to much going on I don't get anything done.
I converted my front living rm into a very nice sewing area, it has a big huge sunny window, a tv, dvd player-I can spread out and leave whatever I am working on until the next time.
I am a self taught quilter so apart of me doesn't feel my work is up to pare but my friends [who don't sew] & family love my quilts and to me that's all that matters. I don't like putting myself in situations where I might be judged-and no offense to anyone here but sometimes us females can be a bit cabby, if you know what I mean.
I do enjoy coming here to the message board, sharing & learning and I have made some wonderful friends from this board.....I am ok with things just the way they are.
Happy Sewing!
