I actually belong to two guilds and both are a thirty-five minute drive from our farm. My smaller guild has 68 members and is fairly traditional. The larger guild has 125 members and has a more varied membership with a wider range of interests. The smaller guild has more hands on workshops while the larger guild can afford more speakers. This past fall, we brought Jodi Barrows all the way from Texas up to Canada. I really enjoy guild activities and am on the executive of both guilds. I have met some of the most interesting creative women that I never would have known otherwise. They are such a fun, caring wonderful group of friends and I would encourage any quilter to give their local guild a visit.
