I quilt & sew alone (in FL.) None of my friends sew. Joined a few quilting classes at JoAnn when I first moved here to meet other quilters.Just wondering where in Fl & Ma you are from. I moved from Mass in 2001.

Don't let it bother you I think you are perfectly normal.
There is a saying in Dutch (translated) "If you aren't Dutch, you aren't much". Goes for quilting to. Keep the pedal to the metal girl and the needle in the quilt.

I don't have anyone to sew with, and my duplex is very small. God bless. Penny

Athough we usually sew, alone a couple of quilting friends and I actually started our own quilt retreat. We go away once in the Spring and once in the Fall for an extra long weekend to a resort in Northern Vermont. Fantastic location, far enough away from any distractions and we make sure we have everything we need before we go. We rent a 3 bedroom suite with a large living room and full kitchen. Each of us takes turns cooking the meals. It's amazing how much we get done, including some chatting along the way.

I mostly sew alone as I don't have any friends who sew or quilt, my sister only sews enough to patch :{~ but my Mom, MIL & several of my SILs sew and quilt. They all live at least 3 hours away though, so it's hard to get together with them to sew. We do talk a lot about quilting when we do get together and love to show off our latest projects. We have been getting together at my house the last couple years in March for a mini "quilt-a-thon" weekend while the guys reload bullets!!! They all came to my house last Aug. and we went on a bus trip of the MN Quilt Shop Hop last year in the northern metro area. We had so much fun that this year we are planning go to my MIL's and all ride in one of the SIL's vans on the northern MN section together the weekend of Aug. 7!!!

I usually sew by myself. My husband made me a wonderful sewing room, with lots of windows so I can see the birds when I am sewing. My cat keeps me company. She love to help me sew.

Except twice a year I go to a quilting retreat. 3 days of nothing but sewing with some of the nicest women I have ever met. What could be better, doing something I love, with the nicest women and someone else doing the cooking for you. You can see why I look forward to these weekends.

I am by myself. No one near to come over

I sew alone. I wish my quilting buddy lived closer so we could sew together but she lives 40 miles away.

This is the same in my case! All my friends scrapbook at retreats and I sew. At home, I sew by myself.
