I joined my first last March. It is large but only 30-40 members are active and come to the meetings.
There are some members that bring masterpieces every month to "show" but there are just as many that bring their quilts that are not perfect. The ladies are great and the guild has a "library" to borrow from, a quilt show every other year and donation quilts (this year they did Quilts of Valor).
You should go - and check it out. See if the ladies are friendly and inviting!!
