My question #2 is this: If a quilt guild is not for you/me where do you meet quilting friends?
I want to find someone who is totally crazy about quilting and fabric like I am. I love the people on this board, but I want someone to talk to and shop with, etc.
I do not want something with cliques, that is political, etc. I guess I just want a quilting friend.
I notice that you live in Central IL. Not sure what you consider central but Jackman's Fabric in Fairview Heights has lots of free groups and classes and they are very friendly or I wouldn't go. I live in the Edwardsville/Collinsville area and there are a few others that I know are friendly.
