The last two years I haven't been as involved with my guild as I'd like because of health issues. I have met wonderful, kind, and helpful ladies. I managed to attend two retreats and enjoyed quilting with others and made great friends. Our guild gives away about 200-300 quilts a year. They have interesting national and local speakers, who offer classes the day after the monthly meeting. After the meeting, they have an experienced quilter show a technique. There is no waiting list. All are warmly welcomed. I hope you all find a group as wonderful.
