I am sew lucky to belong to the Parker Piece Keepers guild in Parker, Colorado. There are three of us on the board that are members now. This is a guild that was new as of January of this year. There are no cliques that have formed. It is a loving and nurturing group of quilters. We have members of all ages, both men and women, and of all levels of experience. We have quilters that have been quilting judges and those that have not made one quilt yet. The president is holding four beginning quilt classed this fall for free. We do block swaps, pot holder swaps and Christmas ornament swaps. There is a sharing time at all meetings except for last week. We had local vendors come in and set up tables and each one had a demonstration of their latest and greatest items. I enjoyed it so much. I hesitated for years and did not join a guild until this year. I absolutely love it.
