I belong to a guild of about 150. I was treasurer for the last two years. A lot of work. What is the best of the guild is finding friends with common interests; and seeing the quilts in Show and Share for inspiration. It takes time to find your place in a large guild. I have recently joined a small group/bee. We are doing small projects while becoming friends and are getting started doing a round robin quilt. It is making me happy. Oh, the worst is when members are cliquey ?sp and witchy.
