I guess I'm in the majority here. I'm also a lone quilter - self taught, sit in my sewing room and listen to music or the TV. There are a number of nice quilt shops within 30-45 minutes of me that offer classes, but I like puttering around at my own pace knowing that I have everything I need (I KNOW I'd forget something if I went to a class! ) Plus, quilt police scare me. :shock: Every once in a while I think that it'd be nice to go to a class to learn a new technique, but then I talk myself out of it and look for a tute online!
