I think this is true or many people from 20 to 90. Quilt groups seem to be very clickey. Certain people know each other and make a beeline for each other or come together. When you are not pushy individual then you have trouble mixing in these groups. Just think you are there for the speaker to learn the chat comes in time when your ace be omes more familiar. Offer to make tea or drink. This way you meet early every one and they all have to alk to you.
