I belong to the Austin Area Quilt Guild in Austin, Tx. It is a very large quild that meets on the first Monday night of the month and on Monday morning once a quarter. I travel 65 miles (each way) to attend the meetings and love every minute of it. I joined this guild about 30 years ago when I lived in the Austin Area. When I moved to the Texas hill country, I kept my membership there because it was the closest guild. I love to take classes and take as many as I can work in. I enjoy the speakers who present our programs. I have learned many new techniques. Just got home from the Houston Quilt Show. I had a great time and enjoyed meeting and visiting with other quilters.
