I was in a small guild (about 20 women ) when I lived in a smaller town and they were great. They spent a long time on show & tell and had projects you could learn to do. Really really nice women. Then I moved away and tried a guild recently here in a bigger city and was appalled at the women and how they acted. Will not go back there ! I actually like guilds and maybe will start one someday. Met a lovely lady here on the board and she asked me to join other women quilting on Thursday and that has worked great. You learn so much in a group and the show & tell is fun too.
