I am actually considering joining my local guild. It runs from September through June at a cost of $25.00.
The problem is the October meeting was not an actual meeting. Today is a quilt show that they are running and teh meeting was basically setting up for the show. I do plan on going to the show today.
November's meeting is a sit and sew where they make donation quilts. I don't feel comfortable going as they already have their groups of personal friends they quilt with.
December is the Christmas party, which I don't feel comfortable in going to either since I have not been a member.
That leaves January through June, and January is our worst month of the year for snow, cold, and ice.
I would really like to join a group of people with similar interests.
Basically I plan on seeing how the quilt show goes today, before deciding. Hopefully I will meet some members and feel more comfortable.
Looking forward to seeing other people's responses.
