I quilt alone for the most part. There's no guild near me. And the not so LQS only holds classes and sew ins when I have work. So it's pointless. I do listen to music or if my DH is upstairs programming or doing something on the computer then I might talk to him. If he's involved, then I don't. I'm trying to get my daughter into playing upstairs so I can quilt, but that's not working out so well
