I have two good friends who I'm fortunate to quilt with, one more than the other... one friend is still working, but the two of us are both retired, so we get to "play" more often. We shop hop together in the summer when Ann (school secretary) is off. We all belong to the guild where there are always lots of good ideas... It's a sweet bunch...
Most of my quilting is done here at the house, though... either me here during the day with the dogs, or in evenings watching basketball with the DH... I'm so fortunate!!
