Of course at home I am a 'lone quilter' but I do love getting together with friends to quilt, chat, laugh and socialize. I've only taken my quilt guild classes from 10am-4pm cuz they only cost $5-$10 for the class...great price considering that I didn't always get alot accomplished cuz I love to see what everyone else is doing, what fabrics they are using etc. If I had to pay those big prices at quilt shops I wouldn't be happy, it would cramp my style and my pocketbook. But I LOVE quilt shops!
Friends and Quilting just go together naturally.
warm quilt hugs, sue
