I have tried a couple of guilds in my area. Both were very clicky. Everyone went off into their own little groups. Myself and another lady was sent off to a seperate room and given a quilt to baste for a cherity. We never seen anyone until it was time to go home. We never went back. I decided to spend time with a couple of really good friends once or twice a week. We sew and have a lot of fun. Forget the guilds. It us too bad that guilds have to be that way.
