i am so sorry for your experence. When I first went to my group I had the same feelings. No one taked to me and I had only made a couple of quilts. I was primarily a seamress. I will tell you why I stayed. I wanted to learn the craft of quilting. Guilds have speakers and teachers come in giving you a chance to improve your skill. Friendships developed after they learned I wasn't a threat. Seating in class with other members opened doors of over 10 years of new friendships.
