Gotta love all that unpacking! I'm glad that you found your sewing stuff - that is the most important part next to the crock pot lol.
That really is a shame your guild only meets in the daytime. Sounds to me like it would be difficult to attend for younger folk. Maybe one of the local churches has a quilting bee that meets in the evenings? I'd check yahoogroups and search to see what you can find in your area.... it's worth a try..
