Closet quilter...have thought about a guild but WA_A_A_A_Y to much negative spin back, At 75 I don't need the stress and, the way I feel about it, if it's good enough for me I don't need the critique of others because I'm my own worst critic. Would love to have a group of ladies that just get together once a month to chat and quilt but no one in this little community shows any interest whatsoever. I did join and am currently participating in a Round Robin Row on this site and I absolutely love it. The people I quilt "with" are of all different personalities and from various parts of the country which is fun and they're all very nice.

At home or with a small group of friends.

The guilds I would consider joining are all during daytime and the nightime guilds are too far away. Guild meetings can be fun and informative but I still like having a hands on time with my friends. We try to do this one Saturday a month at my church.

I don't really go to classes much anymore. The last couple of classes I took were disappointing.

I guess I just haven't connected with a shop that has a friendly, non-specific machine branded atmosphere since we moved here (7 years ago).

I would love to find a group or quild close to me but for the time being, I am a lone quilter. Some of my friends admire my work but have not interest in joining me.

Love your replies! It's been fun to see how everyone views guilds, groups etc. We don't have a LQS in our small city, we have to travel 70 miles to the nearest ones in small towns, so no classes available other than from our guilds or groups. I too have too many projects on my bucket list to be adding guild ones, I enjoy the encouragement of fellow quilters though as none of my friends quilt. The general theme I'm getting here is that you all love the Quilting Board, I totally agree. There is a real pull to spend time here instead of quilting though;)

Closet quilter here.

I'm a Closet Quilter that belongs to a guild. Closet Quilter's is the name of our chapter. We do hand work at our meetings so my machine piecing is done at home.

Closet quilter..........as I need quiet time. I am a school administrator....need I say more?

Closet quilter. I've tried established groups but you always feel a bit of an outsider.

I quilt at home alone and take to work to show off :-)

I quilt at home or with a friend from time to time. All the groups/guilds meet when I am at work
