i belong to 2 guilds. Both like 'drop in's. One is a small group, the other is larger. Both are friendly and both welcome everyone. But there is also a guild that is 'invitation only'.
Send and email beforehand, though. The first group I joined had changed their schedule, something I wouldn't have known if I hadn't sent the email!

The guild I belong to is open to anyone and we take time to welcome visitors and new members. There is rarely a charge to visit, except for certain speakers (we just did for Bonnie Hunter) and the fee is usually only $5. The cost of membership is well worth the low cost we pay for nationally known teachers.

I have just started quilting, but my natural tendency is to immerse myself in new interests. I stumbled over the Modern Quilt Guild in St. Louis just a few days ago, and their next meeting is this Saturday. Perfect timing. I'll be there and just assume they will let me in.
