I'm surprised to hear this as, no matter how many guilds I've been a member in, in several states, I've ne3ver come across a guild that was ALL machine work.
might try talking to your guild president or membership chairperson about how the programs they present each month are chosen.
If there is a newsletter, you might ask to insert a request for a brief meeting following the next guild meeting in which any members who handquilt or applique could meet each other.
You might bite the bullet and show your work at each Show and Tell as a way of introducing the handwork subject and ask for critiques/suggestions and ask if anyone else does hand work.....piecing, quilting, applique, redwork.
I hope you find your way and the support you need. If you'd like to make your way up Hwy. 29 north to Lynchburg, VA, on the first or third Fridays of each month, Patches and Pieces Guilt Club will welcome you with open arms.
