check with some of the members of your local guild, you may be able to car-pool and ride with someone who lives near you. also sometimes there are small (side-groups) of women who get together during the month in the morning at a lqs or library...and work together on community projects ect. also check with your local quilt shops or even Joannes...they sometimes know of little sewing groups who get together a couple times a month during the day. here we even have little (sew-in's) at the lqs...every tuesday morning you can just go in and work on what ever from 9-noon...so the group changes all the time but you still get advice, help with problems, inspiration and community. these little groups are abundant...the key is to find one that fit's you :thumbup:
