I belong to two guilds. One I started with when there were only 5 or 6 members. It has become to large. There are now over 100 members and there is kind of a herd mentallity. We have a smaller Bee that consists of about 6 members of the bigger guild that meet twice a month and then go to lunch. The second guild I belong to is also more than 100 members. Their attitude is totally differnt. Everyone does their own thing and they have a wonderful retreat that I have gone to every year for the last 10 years. The second guild was started by Mimi Dietrich it is very laid back just like her. While it is almost an hour drive from my home I enjoy it and the members much more than the other guild which is 40 minutes closer. The first guild's members act like quilting is the only interest in their lives. I have been doing this to long to take it that seriously.
