I am so sorry this happened to you, but I would like to suggest that you not negatively paint an entire group of people with such a broad brush just because the women in this guild treated you poorly. There are good and bad in every group of people. You unfortunately happened upon one that was quite thoughtless and rude. That doesn't mean every guild with upscale members and/or church members will be. I've been a part of many church quilting groups that never in a million years would have treated you or anyone else that way.
So, good luck finding your next group. I hope wherever you end up, it's one that fits you perfectly.
