I started out as a closet quilter and took some classes but once I finally talked myself into joining the local guild, I got to make great friends and we share the love of quliting, too. The guild is very accommodating...if you prefer not to join in any or even all of the guild projects, etc., it's perfectly okay! It's a potpouri of demonstrations, mini-classes, workshops, show and tells, chatting and snacking, smile. I also belong to a small longarm club which I love. My wonderful SIL told me about the Quilting Board, and I have been enjoying it ever since. Because of my Bailey, I also enjoy the Bailey forum. I still love quilting at home,
