Meeting other quilters and getting support from them is the best part of the guild I belong to. We have show and tell every meeting and I am always inspired by the work I see. Often someone has tried a technique that I haven't done before and I can learn from the other member. We always talk about sales, shows, shop hops and new or closing quilt shops in the area. We have a pattern library, a tool box (with tools to borrow), we have demo nights taught by out more experienced members and occasionaly have paid for nationally known quilters to come speak to the group. We have drawings each month (for strips or charm squares or....)and have scheduled some quilt camps where we all get together for the day and sew. There's more, I'm sure, but don't want to take over the whole topic by myself.
