I like quilting alone. Around others I am too distracted by the conversations, oops maybe it was me talking as I find it very difficult to be around people and not talk. I just have to be alone when sewing to get anything accomplished. I learn best by reading directions and figuring them out. When I socialize I would rather just do that, socialize. I call myself an introverted-extrovert or is that an extroverted-introvert.
