I belong to a medium size guild. I don't think we have cliques but we do have small groups. Small group is 10 people that meet monthly. Each person in the group plans a monthly meeting. Sometimes we go out for lunch,sometimes we go fabric shopping, sometimes a quilt show, sometimes we go to a members house and sew for the day or weekend. It is nice because you have some one to go with you to quilt shows and other fun sewing places.
