My mom and I quilted separately but compared notes and talked on the phone a lot. Also traded fabrics and helped each other with color choices. Now she is gone but my second daughter quilts and we get to do the same things. It is a real joy for me and I think she feels the same. We do not live in the same town but do try to get together at least for one weekend each summer and quilt, quilt, quilt. We did it last year and plan to do it again this summer. Other than that I am a loner!

but people are doing their own thing, and we do show and tell
alot, which is very inspirational. I love working together with
another, it just is exciting!!! Also, going on my first quilt
retreat, and I can't wait.

I do have a group of friends that quilt & we get together once a month & work on a project. We decide around Oct. or Nov. of the previous year what we are going to do. Each one of our quilts come out different because we all use different fabrics & finish the tops different. This is our 3rd yr. doing it.
