I belong to a guild of about 25 members. Our main focus is to make quilts for charity. We meet once a month and have day-long workshops 2 or 3 times a year. We go on a weekend retreat once a year on Cape Cod, have a summer picnic and Christmas party, and show and tell at every meeting. Every other year we collectively make a quilt which we raffle off and donate half the money to local charities and the other half to purchase more fabric to make more quilts. Twice a year we drive to Marden's in Sanford, ME to buy fabric (good selection, prices can't be beat). We do BOM's (2 at a time). One of the finished quilts is donated to the guild and the other we can keep for ourselves. It's a small guild, but active and we have built strong friendships over the years. We do accept new members, but don't want to get too big. I love my guild.
