Our local guild meets on a weekeday during the day :cry:

It struck me that if they actually wanted new and younger members, there would be meetings and workshops on Saturday. Most young women I know work outside the home and Saturday or Sunday is the only day they have for these things.

Heck, I work outside the home. There's no way for me to attend.

I attended my first one as a visitor last month. I will be going back next month and probably join. I got a good tip that night just from a demo!

I'd love to belong to a guild so I could meet other quilters and receive all the educational and social benefits. Unfortunately, because of my work my time is so limited that I just can't see going this until I retire (when I'm 95?????)

I belong to Flower Valley Quilting Guild. We meet the third Thursday nite at 7 pm and have a speaker or activity each month and extra classes are offered several times a year. There are near 100 members and we put on a quilt show every other year. We just had our show and had about 300 pieces on display for the weekend. It was really wonderful, with a beautiful raffle quilt as well. We are gearing up to celebrate 25 years next year. We have all ages and a token male member. I enjoy the meetings and look forward to getting together with the members. We also have activities on the remaining Thursdays for those who are interested. :lol:

Hi Guys!
I just went to my first quild meeting last Thursday night. Northwest Suburban Quilters Guild is a group of about 350 members. They have well known quilters speak/lecture and then you can sign up for classes with that person on Fri & Sat. Show and tell was awesome both by the quest speaker and members. So much talent in one room! Several tables to visit with dry goods ready to be sewn and donated to the charity of your choice (I came home with flannel for two newborn baby blankets). They also have a different vendor set up each month to purchase goodies. They meet one Sat of the month to quilt/sew together. Very active group. I think I'm really going to like it.

I belong to ASG, our neighbor group name is Sew Much Fun. We meet monthly and yes we do have sew much fun. Our sewers are at every level you can imagine. Some rarely sew, but love the fellowship of other sewers.

To my knowledge we have none around here. There is a Fiber Network, but not quite the same thing. Have tried talking my friend and quilt teacher into starting one, but she is not teh group type of person. She likes working one-on-one or by herself. So...
