Minda, Thank you for this post. We have the power to change a negative into a positive. I am in a quilt group not guild. It is made up of 20 women from ages 50 years to 80 years plus. We have no formal meeting. We meet on Mondays from 10.30am to 1.00pm. We pin quilts, help with patterns and share ideas. We all look forward to Mondays. We close in June and reopen in September. We are on the go for 16 years now.
