    Loner here also....I do know a couple of people who quilt, but we don't get together to do it. I think our schedules just don't jive.

    Lately since I have set up a room to sew in, I've done quite a bit on my own, but generally my mom comes over and we work on projects together.

    I usually quilt at home - just me. However, there is a group of us who do get together - tomorrow, for instance!, to quilt together sometimes. We are always showing each other our quilts, table runners, etc. We shop together often. We've recruited one new quilter in the last year!! Progress. Maybe more this next year. I like quilting at home alone and with other too.

    I'm a lone quilter. My neice and I used to work together a bit, but she moved to Iowa and that left me alone again! I take occasional classes at my LQS but that's about it.

    I'm a lone quilter too. No one in my circle of family or friends quilts, or have the time right now to learn.

    For the most part I sew/quilt alone, but I do have a group I sew with on Thursday nights. Mum and I started a Quilting Group about 5 years ago at Mum's place. Since we both moved recently to the new house, we haven't been with the group for weeks. I think we will be ready to start up the group again next Thursday. I can't WAIT to get back to it again.

    I do enjoy sewing on my own though, I find it my "ME" time and it's very therapeutic. Mum will be sewing with me more now that she is living in my basement apartment and the sewing studio is right outside her kitchen door!!!

    I'm a closet quilter. Not too many guys quilting in my area. I mentioned my quilting to one woman at the bar once. She asked me, if I was gay. If you knew me, you'd know how rediculous that question was. I chase skirts, every chance I get. :twisted:
