To really be productive, I must quilt alone. When I quilt in a group, whether it is large or small, I get distracted by the socializing, am less accurate in my stitching (and make mistakes more often!) but it is worth it for the fun and comraderie. When I am working against a deadline or needing to concentrate, I am alone in my sewing room with my music playing. I love that just as much as social quilting - and I get more done!
