I have been a Guild mem. for 6 yrs(just a member); interesting but not fun(only 1.5 yrs fun); just call me a Closet quilter w/LA; The bullies run it underneath and the click associates; the rest of them keep quiet for fear of being attacked and when you stand up and say anything you are attacked; so most of my quilting is at home and most info I get is off this board of which its hard to do without--lots of real FRIENDLY FOLK HERE, AND LOT OF GOOD INFO; don't think I could do without the Quilting board. It's ashame about the Guild. But anyway-- here I stay---------------Thank You my Friends. even though not in person. Have a great Holiday time what ever you celebrate.
