I enjoy this forum very much, though. I get great ideas here, and I love seeing other's projects. Are there other lone (and happy to be that way) quilters out there, or is it just me? 
I like q uilting alone. I am basically a loner. I like to pick my time to be around people. I know where they are if I want company. I do belong to a quilt guild and I do look forward to going to meetings but I get much more done when I work alone. I'm also a substitute teacher and I love being around the kids.
