Please Dragonomine, not all quilt guilds are unfriendly. Most meet only once a month and we older ladies have a hard time remembering names...at least that was true when I first joined but I volunteered to be the BOM person when one became ill and was unable to continue and immediately everyone seems to know my name and talks freely to me. I am now one of 3 ladies handling the charm square exchange each month. I also found that the 2 mini groups in existence were full so started a new mini group that is terrific. We are all on different skill levels and at each meeting the hostess teaches or reviews a skill, we have show and tell and minimal snacks. It is a helpful, loving group that I would wish you all could have access to. The two meetings, guild and mini group are the highlight of the month.
