I've been a member of my local guild off and on for over 20 years, and always thought it was mighty "clicky."
So I seldom went to guild meetings, but they still always counted on me to give my all come time to work on the quilt show!
I joined a friendship group at a local church and found that I no longer had to sit alone at guild meetings. Last year I joined another friendship group some miles away that completed and donated over 700 charity quilts last year! I joined that guild a couple of months ago and found it to be so much more friendly than my local guild!
I heard of another guild not far away that refused to join a multi-guild-sponsored quilt show with the attitude that they wanted nothing to do with quilters outside of their own guild!
Bottom line, I think it best to join a Friendship group, make some good friends and laugh a lot. Then the rest will fall into place, or at least won't matter as much. We're a friendly bunch, stay here and hang out wif us! :D
