Our guild has men in it. In fact, one of them is now our president, and is doing a great job. It takes a special man to not be intimidated by his buddies, if he wants to integrate into a women's group. We welcome all quilters, and encourage newbies and professionals alike. We have many prize winners in our group, and we get along just fine. :-D Please continue with your quilting classes. Who knows? You may one day be teaching one! Have fun!
