I really like the Thimbleberry fabrics. I just bought 20 fat quarters of them to use in a Buggy Barn class I am taking in a couple weeks-using the pattern that is called "Folk Art Flowers". It is in the book "Perrennial Crazy". I saw the quilt made with Thimbleberry fabrics adn it looks awesome. I'm glad you found a group you are comfortable with. I was in a Quit Guild that I was not comfortable in and then joined a different one and love it.
