I've attended a couple of different groups, as far as I know neither was a guild. Both were welcoming, yet for some reason I did not feel like I really fit in. Think it may have been because I have other commitments besides the group and felt internal pressure to hurry up and get away to what else I needed to do.
I would still like to find other quilters to visit with but in the mean time I have this fabulous online group here on the QB!
