Do you mainly sew alone or with friends?

With my machine, mostly alone. Do have some hand sewing projects from time to time. With friends, I mostly just pretend to sew since we end up yaking so much. Usually I knit something simple that's easy to pack up when I'm with others.

I sew with my machine by myself but a friend and I get together for a "stitch N bitch" once every couple months. That is whe I do the hand work like stitching binding or applique. She is a beginning quilter and it is fun to teach her. Sometimes we "road trip" to the LQS.

I sew alone. Sometimes I can get my little tv in that room to work and then I am the 'radio baby again'. I can listen to things and know as much as if I sit in front of it glued. Mom would never allow us to just sit and listen to radio, I would either iron the flat things or peel potatoes or stitch on the rag rugs.....never wasted time. Then tv came along and messed it all up for her. I still listen...I've tried going places to enjoy company and stitch stuff, but heck, there's no place like home with all of you at the end of my mouse. hugs and prayers for you all. Ruth

I can sew alone if I have a project that needs to be completed ASAP. Then I sew all hours of the day and night.
Otherwise, I go to my friend's house (her stash BTW is larger than mine) and we set up the "sweat shop" there. I even have an extra machine that lives at her house! We seem to accomplish quite a lot and enjoy the time together.
PS How do you sew with the quilting board? I haven't find the audio button for that. Otherwise, I'd be right there!!!

I sew alone while watching the news or a movie. My sewing room is just off the kitchen, which was once the family room.
There is a chaise, bookshelves, tv, and three treadles in this room. My husband and/or kids will sometimes sit in the chaise, watch a movie, watch me treadle, and chat while I sew.

All by my lonesome. :wink: I don't mind it, though. Sewing is meditative for me. I do have a dear friend who lives next door to me, and this summer we were both working on some applique blocks. One day she brought hers over, and we sat on the patio (she on the swing and me on the bench) and did some stitching. We chatted and stitched, stitched and chatted. It was so nice and relaxing. 8-)
