I have a friend who just moved to Charlotte last month. She is a fairly new quilter and expanded her skills in our guild here. Unfortunately, her husband's work took her away from us. She did find a local guild with about 250 members. Felt this was a bit too large for her so she is going to go to an area quilt shop for their Sit and Sew in hopes of meeting other quilters.
It would be nice if someone on this board knew of quilt guilds in that area that might not be that large and it could help you both.
