There are a lot of us in the lone quilters group... me too. I was a special education teacher in Florida for years ... I now live in rural Kansas ... I dont even play music anymore ... once in a while I watch t.v. ... I love "natural silence" these days such as the birds chirping, crickets, wind, etc. I also love this quilting community, Craftsy and The Quilt Show. "Silence is golden". Happy quilting everyone!
