I quilt at home to pass the time since I am disabled...There are no guilds that are easily acccesible to me, but I am hoping I can find one after I move at the end of the month!

Closet! And happy that way. I love the solitude of quilting. I'd rather have just a social outing and then come home and quilt - not combine the two. I prefer online groups and blogs in my jammies with my coffee.

I'm a member of this group and another online group, plus a large (70 member), county-wide guild and a small (12 member) club. I also work at a LQS, where I also teach classes.

I belong to our local guild, but mostly in the closet quilting.

I belong to a group of other quilters that gets together every Friday night...we have for over 20 years. Also belong to a guild. A few times a year I also go to a group that meets monthly in homes....but that one is hard for me to get to with my work schedule. I love time spent with friends sewing, and I also like the inspiration I get from guild. I also do love time spent alone sewing too...with music playing, and my dog and cat for company.

This is me. Only time I quilt with a gruop, is twice a year when all my sisters and I get together.

My closets are full of fabric, so I have to quilt elsewhere. I do belong to a guild and actively participate. I haven't done many classes, but I do work on charity quilts once/month with our guild sub-group. I enjoy the social aspect of it, but I am much more productive when I am on my own. Of course, when I get the opportunity to visit my mother, we get a lot done, and I love working with her!

Closet quilter. The local guild meets in the evenings, and I do not drive after dark.

I'm quite new to quilting (am working on my first one). The guild thing kind of confuses me. I'd like to take some classes, but the one quilt shop near me has discontinued their classes for now, and other shops I've been able to find a schedule for seem to not have many classes, but those they do have are on weeknights and I don't drive, so I can't do it. Maybe some day.

I mostly quilt alone, but I belong to a church quilting group that quilts for missions and the local nursing home residents. I've always liked working by myself, so I can work at my own pace and do what I want to, when I want to. I call myself a "loner" when it comes to work.
