I work alone too, no one close to quilt with, & don't care about belonging to a guild. There's one LQS here, but classes are all too easy, no challenge, geared toward beginners, I think. So, I just enjoy my studio time, & quilt. Works for me, most of the time, as I am not a groupie anyway. Glad to have these online groups & forums too, really helps ones like myself!...
