When we wintered in Destin FL where a lot of midwest and Canadian snowbirds go, I put a note on the bulletin board inviting anyone to come to a quilters "gathering" for 2 hours on Wed afternoons. No agenda, no "belonging" -- just come -- the response was amazing -- all ages and skills and we worked on our own things or if someone had a skill they wanted to pass along, we had an impromptu class. So please, put a note on a board -- the store, the LQS church, etc. There are lots of warm quilters lurking who have been put off by quilt snobs

This type of group would not be for me. My question - how do you find a good guild?
You start your own group. Put an ad in the local paper, if you are on a social network, set up a meeting with whoever will come to the place you arrange to meet, put a notice in your church newsletter or on the bulletin board at work. It certainly won't hurt anything to see whether anyone is interested. Be willing to start with two or three and go from there. froggyintexas[/quote]
