I belong to 2 Guilds. One (local) meets every month...the other is a regional guild that meets 5 times per year. My local guild is not large (40 or so members), has a strong push for charitable sewing, no interest in putting on quilt shows that take up lots of time and energy. Not to mention that we do not have the numbers for volunteers. We do exhibit at the local county fair and other local venues. No stress here! Voluntary participation! Great group of ladies with all levels of talent and knowledge. Beginners to advanced.
