I am a loner with the exception of the classes I take at my LQS.
I have a couple friends that quilt so I can bounce ideas off them and show them things but the actual quilting is done by myself.

Since my mom passed away 2 yrs ago. I'm all alone. No friends except on the computer. I mean I have "live" friends here but they all work and have their own lives and excitement to them is buying at Walmart. They don't quite get the idea of making it themselves....... Oh well, I have my 3 furbabies to keep me company

I have quilting friends but we usually go it alone. I did spend three months in my old quilt room with one friend making her grand daughter a quilt and that convinced me I needed more room, Now I have a nice new quilt room that I can't quilt in cause the house is a disaster and I have to get that done before I have no DH either.

I am a lone quilter in that I do all my quilting by myself. Since I have moved and have the time, I joined a guild. Their meetings are once a month and there is also a sewing day the 4th Tuesday of the month. I have not been able to get to the sewing day yet, but hope to make it this month!
The meetings keep me motivated and I come home all fired up. Then the real world kicks in and I realize that I was just dreaming.

I quilt alone too - mind I prefer it that way as sometimes. I do like to have my quiet time, even though I have been told I border on the line of insanity with my outgoing personality. Who needs friends when your being told that huh. LOL

I'm a loner when it comes to quilting and sewing. But I do have several friends who also sew and quilt. We usually meet once a month, eat, talk, eat and show everyone what we're working on. It's great fun!
