Yes, just show up. Guests and new members are always welcome at the guild where I participate.

Please go to the meeting. Odd things happen. Our guild e-mail was recently hacked and we all got odd stuff. In the proces of fixing things and maybe your e-mail was not recieved. You may be missing out on some wonderful friendships if you don't check it out. Wishing you only the best.

Absolutely just show up! Most guilds run on volunteer organizers and most of us don't want to spend too much time doing guild work instead of quilting! In our Guild, mail gets picked up at the PO box about twice a month, checks get deposited about monthly, the website is volunteer "mastered" and other jobs are too--when someone is out of town, busy with family, etc things may take awhile! And I doubt most Guilds are exclusive and require admission--so just show up and volunteer to get involved--maybe be that person to be contacted if interested in becoming a new member!

Go to the meeting, join and try it out for awhile. The first meeting I went to I didn't know anyone and I didn't feel welcome - the only one who spoke to me was a vendor I knew. The leadership has changed and I know more people now (from a class I take) and I am glad that I stuck it out. Reminds me that sometimes all it takes is a smile! Have fun!

You should just show up. Guilds are always looking for new members. Just explain the situation. The member in charge of memberships may have had a family crisis and couldn't get back to you right away. Don't take it personally! Sometimes life just gets in the way. You sound like you would be a fun person to have in a guild. They will be fortunate to have you! Your avatar always makes me smile.

I hope you went to the meeting! I am on the membership committee for my guild. I only get to the PO box 1x a month, others check it also, and bring to the meeting any mail for us. Deposits are done after the meeting for memberships received in the last month.As others have said, we are volunteers, and most of us work full time, plus have family obligations. I do think someone should have answered your e-mail. I always try to answer those within a couple of days. Sorry you haven't heard anything back from that. If you did go to the meeting, hope you were welcomed and enjoyed your evening.

Our quilt guild you can go to up to 3 times without joining so you can check them out before joining. So I would just go and check it out and ask them if they get your paperwork :)

Well???? Did you go? Tell us about it!

Yes, go to the guild and check it out. They might have a card waiting for you. But; don't say much; some guilds are run by bullies and if you say the wrong thing they will attack you. I am not trying to discourage you--there are alot of nice people in the guilds and helpful people that out weight the bullies. Just go slow and keep your ears open. It is alot of fun and they do alot if you don't ruffle feathers. My guild does not alow men; even if they quilt--bad news there! GO AND SEE!

Getting officers in our guild is difficult and we have lots of snowbirds, so it's possible that the membership officer is OT or hasn't even seen your request yet. I would go with a big smile and assume I was welcome. Have fun!

Just go. They won't kick you out. Lol

I went to the meeting and it was great. Here is the link for the post update

:) go to the guild meeting -- I enjoy mine as I visit with my quilting buddy, whom I met through QB, and see what others gave completed (show and tell) and what ideas and quilts the speakers present each month -- it is inspiring and I get to see beautiful quilts up close -- some guilds are slow to read and act on emails -- give them a chance!!

I am Treasurer of my guild and am the one responsible for picking up the mail and I must confess I only do it about twice a month. If the mail goes to a P.O. box this is probably the problem. Hope you went to the meeting and had fun.

I belong to a modern quilt guild. It is so much fun. There are lots of young mothers and older members as well. The meetings are informative and show and tell is great fun. We gather at a local church once a month for a sew in. I get a lot done at the sew in. I love the modern concept. This guild is very energetic. The leader is young and computer savy. I am probably one of the oldest in this guild. Try a different guild would be my suggestion.
