I would go to the same group again and see if it is better. If you are friendly and talk to a few people and let them know what you are interested in, you may find that there is already a small group, or maybe several that you could talk to someone about. Our guild has several "groups", although they are not formal ones. They are just several friends who get together to quilt. Also you might ask at your local quilt shop (if you have one) if there is a group that meets to make charity quilts and you might find a good spot there. Our guild also has about 4 people who meet regularly once a month to make charity quilts at our local quilt shop. Don't be afraid to advocate for what you want and the quilters group is probably the best place to do it.
