Welcome to the board! This place is huge but there is an answer to any question you have ever had! I get teased about quilting and I am in my 40's so get used to it. It always comes from those who have never experienced the satisfaction of creating anything so just feel sorry for them and smile :0P. I haven't joined a guild yet because I just don't have time between family and work but hope to one day. There are so many great guilds, LQSs and quilt shows in FL! Enjoy!
