Hi, This is the first time I have replied to any comments or questions. You asked about belonging to a guild. I belong to three guilds and I enjoy each of them. They are interesting, they offer alot of educational programs and classes and most members are very willing to share their knowledge and experience with you. I have learned so much and have made very many good friends. We go on quilt retreats and on shopping bus trips or to area quilt shows.
Belonging to a guild can be very rewarding.
There is always clicks and those who may hold the noses to high, but these people are not important. Keep mingleing and you will be rewarded with knowledge and good friends.
