The local county guild (Saline County Quilt Guild) won't let me join because I'm a man, but I am a member of the state guild and we do have another man in that guild and his work is excellent. He's a teacher and taught a quilting class to high school students for 30 years. I'm a member of another guild in the next county over as well, and we have a couple of men in that one, too. Once of them, Dave, is a member here on the QB, too.
It is such a loss for the quilt guild that won't let you join because you are a man. You would bring a lot to offer to any guild.
