I'd love to participate! I don't belong to the guild here yet. I went to one meeting a couple years ago but then got a new job that kept me busy. I'd honestly forgotten all about going to another. I miss the socializing. My fiance moved here a couple months ago from Idaho and he's been wanting to go to KC, so it sounds like a roadtrip is in order when the heat goes away. It's raining this morning here, a nice gentle soaking rain. The perfect day to pull something out and stitch :) Fiance-man is in bed and probably will be most of the day. He pulled his Achilles tendon yesterday and was up all night from the pain so I expect him to snooze now that the Ibuprofen has started to work.
