I quilt mostly alone. My granddaughter asked me to help her learn to quilt and this has been a joy but we work together on her problems, but then I quilt alone. I am helping a Nigerian lady learn to quilt so she comes over and I work with her and then I do my quilting alone. I really accomplish more when I am by myself with either music or the tv in the background. My puppies (2 English Bull Terriers) are usually at my feet - so I guess I really don't quilt alone.
