Guild and I so appreciate the opportunity to meet new folks and learn little tips and outright tutorials from the members. They are not all my buddies but they are all gals that I can call on when I have a question or a problem with a project. They are also good encouragers when I get bogged down with a project that is sticky.

Closet quilter here, and that is perfect for me, I do things at my pace, in my time frame.

I belong to a guild, and 2 sewing groups. the guild provides opportunity to take classes from national teachers and programs at the meetings. the smaller sewing goups provide friendship and sewing time with other and we ca help each other. I teach classs at three LQS and am a long arm quilter. I also host retreats in my home for up to 8 people. They are so much fun get to meet wonderful people.

I am a "plan to" quilter. Many patterns and fabric but just getting started is my problem.

Closet quilter also. As a newbie, the quilt guild is a bit intimidating to me. Would love to try to join a small quilting group at some point. Right now I am very happy with this board.

I'm a closet quilter, but only because I was never able to find "my niche" in a Guild. The ones I tried were all very clickish....not truly open to newcomers. Everyone was nice on the surface, but that was as far as it went. So, I do my own thing.......certainly takes any pressures off of me. I do try to get together with a friend often to have our own little "sew in".
