A quilting buddy is great for pushing you to get your UFO's done! I live in an apartment and kept hearing a rumbling noise from the apartment above me - it would go on for hours at a time. Finally got up my courage one day and knocked on the door to ask what the noise was. I knew that if I knew what it was, it wouldn't bother me so much. Turns out that my male upstairs neighbor was making quilts on his Janome on a glass table directly over my bed. Needless to say, the noise doesn't bother me any more and we now quilt together either at his place, my place, or in the "party room" of the building where we can use the large banquet tables and invite his other quilting buddies to join us.
