If your guild is registered, then here in Canada you will need a "Constitution" & when you join you can ask for a copy of it so you will know the "rules" . Neither of the guilds I've been in allow children. With all groups there are good & bad apples. But I LOVE the show and tell and I probably ask alot of weird questions, like is it appliquéd, but I don't mean it rudely, I'm genuinely curious. Our local quilt shops have projects for children & their moms to work on together, maybe you could find something like that near you? When my DD was young I found her a class called Kids Kan Sew..... it was great, although it wasn't something that we could attend together. I also have a group of 8 friends and we get together every 2 weeks in our homes & quilt, maybe you could ask around & see if there are other moms who would like to do something like that? Have fun on your quilting journey!
