I'm generally a lone quilter, but do take an occasional class at one of two LQS's. I have a friend who is about as new to quilting as I am, and we talk a good game, but have only gotten together once to quilt together. She lives 45 minutes away from me. I also have two guilds nearby, but have yet to check them out. This fall I will do that.
Three of my sisters make quilts, but one is 5 hours away from me, and the other two are about 18 hours away!!!
