i've never attended a guild meeting, although i want to really really bad! MG Quilt Guild is a small guild that meets at Grace Fellowship Church on Hwy 169 on Saturday mornings, although I don't know which week! I also want to attend the Plymouth/Women of the West Quilt Guild that meets the 4th Monday night of eachmonth in Edina, which i know is a bit far for you! There are quite a few good quilt shops around - I love the Roger's shop for their mix of fabrics - Blue Bamboo in Plymouth is awesome as well!
