I have belonged to a local guild for many years. In fact, next year I will be doing my second time at being president. That being said, don't give up on a guild after only going to one meeting. It may be that they have an issue to work out, so just listen and then try another meeting later.
Give the guild a chance. I don't like to hear that someone doesn't think they are a good enough quilter to join a guild. That is nonsense. Guilds are supposed to encourage quilting and help teach.
You may find a few members that you really get along with and start a small off shoot group.
Just don't give up on all guilds.
