I belong to a smallish guild (just over 50 members) that meets once a month Sept. through June; I miss them during the summer. I do have a couple of friends who also quilt and once in a while we do things together, incuding a weekend retreat 2x a year.
What I do not have - and do not want, lol, is a DH who quilts! When I see others talk about their husband sewing with them, I cringe! I need some time to myself. Good thing, too, as the most interest he's shown is to say, "That's a lot of pieces." He much prefers super fluffy comforters on the bed.
Then again, I'm not interested in his hobbies, either (watching sports!).
