I belong to 3 guilds. They all have some kind of program at the meetings. New quilt shop, new gadgets, new technique, or trunk showing etc. as an example. They may have a retreat, a class, or a small group another day, which can be fun, but I do my best sewing by myself after I learn the technique. Too many people in a room or rooms I can get lost in the pattern, and make more mistakes than I normally do. LOL
