There is one quilt guild in my area, then there are a half dozen quilt stores which also have classes, If you want to learn something new join a class, if you want a group to quilt with stay with the guild long enough to meet people. There will be some good eggs
Our local guild is 25 a year plus dues and only meets everyother month, If you go as a guest 3 dollars.
try local churches, senior centers hang out at the lib near quilt books :D don't give up
