Personally, I wouldn't go back to that guild. It sounds like they're offering more negitive criticism and "written-in-stone" quilting instructions than anything you could use to your advantage. From what I understand, a quilting guild is meant to be a place where you can learn new things and perfect your skills, but how can you learn anything when stuck-up snobs are bashing your work left and right just because you didn't do it their way or it defys what the quilting world considers "traditional"? I highly doubt you joined the guild to be discouraged and to feel awful about your completed work so you shouldn't have to keep at it just because you think the guild might still have something to offer. There are ways to learn new quilting techniques and tips without having to deal with such negitivity and non-constructive criticism.
