I thought I was one of the few who liked to be alone with myself! LOL......I think as I have gotten older (50's) that I am finding myself not wanting to be in crowds in general. Like others I have a job that involves interaction with people all day and when I get off I head straight home...I don't even like to stop for gas if I can help it! I just want to busy myself with my crafts while watching tv with the hubby. Nice to know I am not "alone." :)

I like to quilt by myself too. I find it relaxing and I enjoy time to myself. You are not alone. From the response on this thread, there are a lot of us who enjoy the process.

Raising hand high here......I'm w/you ladies 100%

I do my best work when I am alone and when I am left alone!! Happy to see others are like that too.

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? :confused:

I enjoy my own company. The few times I have been around guilds, way too much drama for this mamma! I really don't need a bunch of the "popular" people to tell me how to improve. Reminds me too much of high school. So the only quilting buddies I have are my dog, and two cats. Even they are a hit and miss.....lol

I've always been a loner, probably because life was so busy and I always cherished "me" time. I love to sew and talk to others about what I'm making, run ideas over people, and see what others are sewing, but IRL no one I know sews, which is why I come here. :) Sometimes on Mondays when people ask if I had a good weekend and I say "yes! I sewed for 4 hours straight Saturday!" they look at me like, wow Nance, that's exciting? lol But to me, it is. They can have their gatherings where they sit around and drink and talk about other people, or go run their races or ride their bikes or do nothing, but sewing is my thing and I love it.
My fans are my kids, who love what I sew more when it's for them. So now that I've been full speed they want new quilts. Okay! Okay! |
