I want to make it clear for anyone reading this post that I merely meant to inquire if there was a local, accepting guild in my area. If there wasn't, if anyone knew how hard it was to start my own.
Now I think I understand why so many mom's, of Girl Scouts who joined my Girl Scout troop over the last 14 years, were so surprised that our troop was so 'accepting' of all new girls!!! In all honesty, I thought it was our duty to be accepting, not just in our troop, but in every aspect of life. Glad I taught that to so many girls over the years.
I truly hope to find a guild, or should I say group, to bond with over our mutual interest of quilting. I am lucky though. I do have a friend, co-workers and this board that is full of (mostly) supportive people who all share my love of all things quilty! Thanks so much for all of you who are positive influences. Maybe I should have posted my original thread under 'personal diaries.' Most people don't bash the diary section.
