Hi Guys!
I just went to my first quild meeting last Thursday night. Northwest Suburban Quilters Guild is a group of about 350 members. They have well known quilters speak/lecture and then you can sign up for classes with that person on Fri & Sat. Show and tell was awesome both by the quest speaker and members. So much talent in one room! Several tables to visit with dry goods ready to be sewn and donated to the charity of your choice (I came home with flannel for two newborn baby blankets). They also have a different vendor set up each month to purchase goodies. They meet one Sat of the month to quilt/sew together. Very active group. I think I'm really going to like it.
