I use to be program chairman for my guild. It was not an easy job! The favorite program/workshop last year was everyone making the 1600 jelly roll quilt. Everyone came with the strips sewn together and rolled up. In an hour everyone was through and we had a great show and tell with lots of oohs and ahhhs. I am now the demo person for my guild. I buy and demo new tools, books, and patterns. If I want to keep the item, I pay for them, if they stay in the guild library, the guild pays for them.
