Quiet smile, funny you should ask ;) He passed VERY young of heart disease. So, as you might imagine, my older sister and I have been quite mindful of that, and we are still doing our thing pretty darn well, now into our 70’s.
I do not doubt that many, maybe even most benefit from social interaction, but just wondered about those that might be built a little differently.
Here is me hoping a new quilting group materializes soon! :) I think quilts are truly usable art, and I would join to learn!

I wish, but doubt if that will happen. Several of our group died as a result of Covid and/or the clot shot. It’s interesting to know that some were in their late 90s and had been socializing over quilting frames since their teens. So maybe the social interaction helped them achieve long lives.
My sister, also a FReeper, and I try to attend a couple of retreats each year if possible.
Anyhow, younger women don’t give a crap about heritage arts like quilting. Our group met literally next door to a high school and we offered to provide instruction on hand quilting but nobody was interested. If it doesn’t have a battery or if it doesn’t scroll, forget about it.
