This is exactly the type of experience every quilter should have when they go to a guild meeting.
This is wonderful and we can all hear the excitement in your "voice"! :D:
You'll have to figure out when they meet. Some have their meetings following the school year schedule with nothing in the summer, and others have their year be Jan-Dec with meetings all year round.
Do take pictures of the quilt show and let us see them. I am so glad you went for the meeting last night, it's opening up a whole different world for you. :D
