    Quilt guild???

    I was contemplating becoming a member of the local quilt guild. Three weeks ago I sent them an e-mail as well as application and membership payment by snail mail. I heard nothing from them. Don't get me wrong, QB is great, but I would like to be a part of guild as well since no one I know quilts. Today is their meeting. What do I do? Can I just show up? I hope there are some experienced guild members here that can tell me if that would be OK. I am a patient person, but three weeks is a long time not to reply to an e-mail. What do you think?
    I've got a smile on my face, I've got four walls around me
    The sun in the sky, the water surrounds me
    I'll win now but sometimes I'll lose
    I've been battered, but I'll never bruise

    Yes, I would just show up telling them you sent in your money but haven't received a response yet. You'll get a feel for how "welcoming" they are by their response.
    When it seems like the world is falling to pieces remember that the pieces are falling into place. We are nearing closer to the End Times.

    I also emailed our local guild, and received no reply. I think it is rude.

    I agree, before we moved to this area I did the same thing and never heard a word...I went to a meeting along with a newly made quilting friend when I got here and have been a member ever since..I so look forward to the monthly meetings and love all the presenters and opportunity for classes etc.

    For sure go!
    I've learned to not trust e-mail arriving & snail mail. Too many ways stuff can get lost.
    You can introduce yourself and explain how you've gone through all the proper channels and have received no response. Bet there's a good excuse.

    The LIQS? Just go.

    Did the check clear?
    They'll probably have your card,etc. waiting for you at the meeting.

    No, the check did not clear. I have just done checking my bank account. I will go tonight and see what happens. If they are nice, great. If not, well there are other guilds around that I can check out. This one was so conveniently close and I heard good things about it on the last shop hop.

    Definitely go for it Tashana. I can only speak from personal experience, but I know our guild WELCOMES visitors and well as new members. I'll bet they'll have your membership ready and waiting for you when you arrive, and if not, you can investigate what might have gone astray and get it straightened out easily.

    Definitely go to the meeting, and I expect that you will be greeted warmly. Lots of things can happen to guild mail. Ours goes to a post office box, and at times it hasn't been picked up on a regular basis. Many web sites (including those trying to sell things) list email addresses that no one checks. Not hearing from them is not the same thing as being intentionally ignored.
