Gus, this is the first sew along I've ever participated in. Thus, I can't answer what is 'normal'. As with many things in life, folks are interested in an event, but, for many varied reasons, cannot start or continue with their intentions. Perhaps some are enjoying the sew along but choose not to post about it. It's a shame we don't have more regular posters, but I wouldn't worry about it. I know I'm enjoying it so far [aside from my break for remodeling the new house
