I've been hesitant to try the local guild because I tend to be shy and don't always fit in with big groups (that's why I like the anonymity here, I guess). The positive comments about guilds may make me give it a try.
If you can find a phone number to call someone at the guild, you may be able to check and see if you already know someone who belongs. Your local quilt shop could probably give you information about local guilds, and which ones might be more welcoming to new members. We have a greeter who takes visitors under wing and makes sure they feel welcome. :-) :-)
