You could have a show and tell of quilts or projects that each member would be willing to teach the others to do. Then you could hold mini workshops. It would be a way to help each other learn new things. Maybe someone made a great quilted vest or jacket or a purse or tote. Someone who is good at binding or paperpiecing etc. could share their skills. The guild I have been with the longest started out in someone's home. We did things like that for years. Now with over 100 members we can afford to hire professionals to teach and demonstrate. There is always BOM. If you do it for a year everyone should learn how to make at least 12 different blocks.
