I live in the center of a triangle of guilds, so I joined all three.
One offers a day and night meeting twice a month(attend both), day is mostly bussiness and demonstrations. Night is more project oriented. We put on a yearly Quilt feast and have national speakers come in and take 2-3 bus trips a year.
The other two guild are much smaller and it is more like a group of quilting friends get together and we sew all day once a month.
I have a very small group of friends who are also in all three and on the off week when neither of these group meet...we meet at one of the ladies house and..... sew all day.
