Most guilds will let you visit up to three meetings. Go and introduce your self and be sure to get a name tag. Also if you have some quilting you have finished, bring it with you. Most guilds have a show and tell or sew and tell. If you like the guild, their programs and people join, if not see is there is any sewing groups or bees that in the area. Just get active with the group and you will be surprised. I have belonged to three guilds in Missour and really missed meeting fellow quilters, so six months I joined the guild here in Texas. I have really enjoyed the guild here and have met some great fellow quilters. Good luck and give it a chance. Happy New Years.
