My guild has about 150 members but about 100 are active. We have monthly meetings, quilt show every 2 years, community outreach with quilts and pillowcases, program at each meeting, guest speaker, member trunk show, workshops by guest or guild members, many small groups for applique, round robin, art quilts, Tea Party at May meetings and Show and Tell at every meeting.

We are associated with a local park and have our meetings and many sew ins per month in one or another of the park's buildings. We even have a stash room in one of the buildings and our quilt shows are held in all the buildings in the park. We raffle a queen sized quilt every year and the proceeds go to the park for our 'rent' for the buildings and grounds use each year.

Some quilters don't like guilds because some are clicky but you need to find some activity within the guild that you enjoy and stick with that. May in Jersey
