Wow, that sound great Nantie!
Betty, I'd start by making a list of what you want your guild to be. A small group of friends sewing together? A group that teaches others to sew? There are lots and lots of possiblities... so the first thing may be just for you and your friend to sit down and talk about what you would want your group to look like. Then conduct research from there. Since you're organizing it, it can look however you want it to!
