Look for a different guild. One of my guilds is small and more of a social thing, not much going on besides chit-chat, the other is larger and openly welcomes new quilters. The larger guild has regularly scheduled 'teaching' meetings. There's always something to learn. For example, I recently made a baby quilt with a VERY baby fabric set. I know that once that baby reaches about 2, she (it's a girl quilt) will hate that fabric, so I made the back using a large floral that coordinated well with the front. Now the little sweetie will have a 'big girl' side to love when she gets a little older. One of my favorite ladies (who happens to be in her 80's) said, "Hmmm. I never thought of that!" It pleased me that she said that, because I really respect her as a person and she has wonderful quilting skills.

I have to admit, I felt a bit lost in the bigger group for awhile, but I persevered.
