Our guild does have presentations that are not strictly quilting. Our presenter, today, in fact, will tell/show us about Kantha stitching, which I had to Google. I am waiting to see if I want to sign up for tomorrow's workshop.
"August 15 Workshop: Create a Cosmetic/Small Tool Bag UP DATE: The workshop cost has gone up to 20.00 due to some extras in the kit. You will have a choice between two color pallets. Kit fee is payable to pre-senter on the day of the Workshop."
I enjoy learning new things. Of course, my favorite part of guild meetings is Show and Tell from members.
There are only 12 meetings per year, and some don't even have a presenter. We organize a workday for charity stuff; one meeting involves a sewing-bingo game/social.
100% quilting seems limiting to the possibilities. You never know how you may incorporate a new skill into a new quilt!
