I went to my first quilt guild meeting and it was ...
...a blast! It's a small guild, 30 members and a little over half were there. All women mostly my age and up, and so funny, omg, they were such a fun bunch of women!
There's an agenda, 3 drawings - one for the fat qtr theme of the month, one for 2-1/2" strips, and one you toss your fabric name tag in the basket and they draw and the winner gets a sewing prize. The other two are whoever can brings in a fat quarter and/or the strips, they put them in the baskets and pick out names from who contributed. They had refreshments, show and tell, ideas for upcoming meetings, the next meeting agenda, talked about a few planned trips, and other things.
Most have been quilting "forever", a few less than 5 years, all in different stages of WIPs and projects. I had such a good time. We talked fabric and sales and binding and projects and it felt so good to not get the eye roll! lol
I'm so happy I went, it was great for motivation and inspiration.
