I am a lone quilter too..i do enjoy my own space and peace and quiet but sometimes it would be nice to do things with someone who also enjoys quilting. i have tried to join a sewing guild and lessons but everytime I do work or other commitments seem to get in the way so it is just easier to quilt whenever I have time. i do have a friend who is very creative but she lives 6 hours away and when we do catch up we talk nonstop!
