1. Are you part of group that meets to sew? No, I wish I were. Unfortunately, they meet on days that I can not.

2. Have you invited friends over to quilt/sew? No because my house is so chaotically messy. Some day I will though. I've gone over to my friend Mindy's house to sew before though. :)

1. When picking fabrics/colors for a project do you rely on the shop's employees or bring a friend along to help in decision making? Both. Sometimes I just pick things out myself.
