Loved our "nonguild" quilting group in WV. We'd get together to do charitiy quilts from time to time. We'd take our machines and unwanted scraps cut into prearranged strips to a local church and sew the day away (and eat and chat!). Later, some would meet to quilt and bind. During the day, we'd decide what local charities would get the quilts to auction off. Those days were the most fun I ever had quilting! A guild in a neighboring town always helped out and they put out their welcome mat for our group. In turn, we always tried to go to their fundraisers and buy tickets for their raffle quilts.
One of my friends had a bad experience after teaching a class for her guild. Now she travels to another guild that she likes much better! You should keep an open mind and give your guild a fair chance until you decide if it's a good fit for you.
