Don't decide yay or nay after just 1 visit ... most guilds or groups will allow you to attend several times before asking you to join. Make another visit with your neighbor and see if things are different
Some guilds or groups are so used to their regulars, they forget to welcome NEW faces like they SHOULD ... shame on them!
I've been a member of 4 different guilds over the yrs. Guilds are great for inspiration & speakers - but I've always had the most FUN at small bees & a scrap group we had
DON'T be intimidated by the quilts either, there are ALL kinds of quilters in groups ... that's what makes it so interesting !
