I can see 2 of your furbabies in your avatar. What is your other furbabie? |
My friend is the one who taught me to quilt. We try to get together once a week to work on whatever projects we each have going at the time. She has also taught another friend to quilt. That friend crochets berevement outfits. That led us to making things for one of the local hospital NICU for the babies. So we have several different directions we can go when we get together to sew/quilt. We love shopping at our local qs together. We are planning a trip to Houston in Oct. for the International quilt show there. 2 of us have been there twice before,but for one it will be her first time.

I quilt alone. I don't know anyone else here who quilts. I think it'd be fun to quilt with someone else, but I like being in my space because I'm the kind of person who'd probably pack up to take my stuff somewhere and forget something obvious! :roll:
|
I too quilt alone. I started a quilting forum so I would have
people to talk with about it. They keep me motivated, which is good. |
Both for me. I do go to an Adult Ed quilt class on Tuesday nights - & have for the last 17 years! lol I also have friends that quilt & we do try to get together once in a while & have a "stitch-n-8itch" day. I belong to one guild & am a past officer of the So. Calif Council of Quilt Guilds. But I also do a lot of my work at home on my own. That would be easy to see if you saw my house! Piles of fabric & goodies on the dining table, couch, coffee table....well pretty much every horizontal surface in the place! LOL
|
Sadly, I'm all alone. I was going to try a guild once but they sounded so snooty that I didn't feel welcome.
|
I do it all alone, shows, shopping, ideas, sewing. I used to work with a lady that we'd get together and go to the best fabric shops and shows. Then I had to move. I've done classes, in fact one of the shops have an open day for anyone to come in and sit and sew. I just lack the motivation to pack up everything to go do it. My bad!
|
I quilt alone. But belong to a small group that gets togather once a month.
We dont quilt togather but share what we make. We also make blocks and one lady puts them togather for wounded warrier quilts. Then we share the cost of sending out for quilting. We are now doing a round robin where we work on each others quilt. But none of this is done in a group setting. We do our work at home alone. Meetings are for visiting and discussion. |
A lone quilter. My job requires me to talk to soo many people every day, I'm always glad to sit down by myself and quilt. It is my quiet time.
