Nina, this afternoon, I was able to talk with my neighbor who belongs to a sewing guild. I told her about your inquiry. She said that there is a quilting guild somewhere in San Antonio, but she did not know how to contact them. She also told me about a local group that a friend of hers belond to for a sh ort time. Mary Anne said that they were a very exclusive group. New members have to audition to determine if their quilting skills measure up to the guild's requirement. Her friend got into the group, but the weekly meetings took more time than she had to spare. Mary Anne suggested that you should check the bulletin board at the Live Oak Civic Center quilt show next January or February.

I have not seen my back door neighbor to ask her about a quilting group.

Personally, I'm interested in all phases pf quilt making but doubt that my skills would be sufficient for membership. I'm 72 years old and have MS, which has affected my right hand. I do still make simple utility quilts that can be completed on the sewing machine. I have always loved quilts and would be interested in being a part of a nearby group that would accept my limitations. Since I am already committed to church and MS groups, the time I'd have for a quilting group would be limited.
