Our guild is very active in Charity quilts. We do one for ourselves every two years, this year we did one for the local Native american Rancheria to raffle off, we make cuddle quilts for the hospital, we do quilts for the safe house for battered women. These things are important to me, and we have classes, and challenges and all sorts of fun things. There is always one group that is catty, but they have kind of been sent off to one corner by themselves to be ignored, but I have made a lot of friends there, and met a lot of wonderful ladies that love to quilt for a purpose
