QNSue ... that's good news that it's staying! And I hope you have reserved spots for your quilts to be done! OMG that they nabbed you with your first visit ... wouldn't sit well with me and I'd have been out that door pretty quick too! I just can't believe the nerve!!! Well, actually I can believe it and am proud of you two for turning the tickets back and saying adios!
MiraB ... good for you for knowing the value of saying NO!
Stories like these are why I have not made any efforts towards matching up with a Guild. There are several around me that could be potentials and could be compared and decided upon if I chose. I don't care much for clique-y groups and honestly, I don't really want to be in a situation where I must be somewhere the 3rd Thursday of a month (or whatever their schedule is).
I know I miss out on some of their speakers and class opportunities ... but IMHO I really feel I get a broader scope of education on the QB than I can IRL. Plus the meeting is when I want it to be ... as often or as seldom as I choose!
So Ladies ... you are my Guild!
