I don't belong to a guild and have no desire to, at least right now, but I am lucky enough to be one of four gals who love to get together several weekends out of the year to work on a current project or start a new one. We work independently...rarely do we do the same thing. It's all about getting together and getting totally immersed in our sewing and visiting, and also to see what each other is working on. Oh, and did I mention that it is also all about the food?
