As an adult with a severe speech impediment (I stutter, badly!) I am a natural "loner". I do interact with people and students at school but prefer to be alone. As far as quilting goes I am very new to the art so I attend classes given by ladies in my church. I also love online tutorials and so far, this board! I guess, in general, I prefer to sew alone! I love turning up my music or listening to an audio book when I'm sewing!
