I sure wish you lived in my area. I belong to a small Guild of only 12 or 15 members. We welcome new visitors with open arms. We meet twice a month. The first meeting is our business meeting and includes show & tell, the second is our Charity Meeting where we all work together on charity quilts. We go on shop hops together and have a small "show" at our local library each spring. I hope you find another group in your area. Quilting is so much more fun when it's shared with others. As an example, look at how we all share on this Quilting Board.
