I belong to a great guild. We have different programs. Some months classes by members. Sometimes classes by known teachers. Other times we just have a sit n sew. Always have show and tell. Encouragement is for all levels of quilters. That is what we are there for. To encourage and assist anyone that takes an interest in this fabulous art. Not all guilds are equal. You just have to try them out and find the one that fits you. And I hope you can find that special place
