When I wasn't working full-time, I belonged to the local quilt guild and even served as President for two years, as well as serving on other positions along the way. It was a great place to learn new things about quilting, see what others were doing and make new quiltng friends. However, when I started working full-time I had to stop going, and since I didn't like going out at night, quilting for me became a solitary thing. However, I miss seeing what people are doing and learning new things. I'll probably start looking for a new guild soon.
