I belong to the quilt guild here. I love it. We have almost 300 members. We hold a quilt show every other year (just had it January 2010). We have a.m. and p.m. meetings once a month, including door prize and raffle table. We do charity quilts for the local NICUs at our hospitals, and also for the Paul Newman Turtle Camp about 50 miles from here. We have bus trips to the larger quilt shows, and have guest speakers about 9 out of 12 months. Usually the workshops given by the speakers are on Fridays, so I can't go because of work, but we have about 3 a year on Saturday, and I try to go to those. We do quilt challenges, BOM and Quiltfest once a year, which is demonstrations of techniques. We also have a once yearly "yard sale" where everyone can bring their quilt related stuff they want to sell. We have the birthday people bring the refreshments, and they also get to pick a FQ as a birthday present.
