Love your replies! It's been fun to see how everyone views guilds, groups etc. We don't have a LQS in our small city, we have to travel 70 miles to the nearest ones in small towns, so no classes available other than from our guilds or groups. I too have too many projects on my bucket list to be adding guild ones, I enjoy the encouragement of fellow quilters though as none of my friends quilt. The general theme I'm getting here is that you all love the Quilting Board, I totally agree. There is a real pull to spend time here instead of quilting though
