I belong to two different guilds one large and one small I have been debating what I want to do for next year as there are several different places around here that meets to sew and I think I would rather spend my time doing that than sitting in a meeting but it also depends on the guild and do they have activities if so it is best if you participate as it is more learning and getting aquainted I have learned a lot over the years at the clubs and quilds that I was part of
