wow, I just found this post and a friend of mine is thinking about joining a quilt guild and asked me if I would like to go along. I'm thinking twice now! It never occurred to me that it could turn out to be a stressful experience I like the idea of a guild that meets in a quilt shop that someone mentioned on an earlier page! That's a win-win.... just being in the fabric store always brightens the worst of days for me! I have never met anything but kinda nd caring people there too! I see this topic has been beat to death here, but I thank you for the heads up on what might go on at a guild meeting!
