I find that I'm more motivated if I sew with others. I belong to a group that meets every other week. Inspired by our mini lessons to do more at home alone.

Also have been sewing with 3 sister in laws since mid summer. We rotate among our homes, get a lot accomplished since we can problem solve together as needs arise & catch up on family news at the same time.

Downside is carting materials/machine around.

I mostly sew alone, it's my "ME" time. But I do love a good family sewing bee. Sew, eat, sew, eat,a little "community update". sew, eat.... you get the picture.

I see you are from NC. I'm just thinking about quilting. Do you hand quilt or use a sewing machine. If you hand quilt, what kind of frame do you use? I have a big frame, but I can't put it up in living room. Just too big. So I was wondering.

I sew alone for a little while most mornings. I sew with friends once a month when we get together in our bee, usually binding or hand piecing or hand applique as I hate toting the machine for 5 hrs of sewing.

I sew a LOT in April when I go to quilt camp for 5 days, and again in September when my friends form our bee rent a shore house in NJ and sew for a week!

I sew alone, and watch TV and visit with my DH when he is not outside working in the yard.
