I joined a group 4 yrs. ago because my friend wanted me to, at that time I wasn't a quilter. Of course I was easily intimidated and there were some kind of snooty members, but over the 4 years I have learned to quilt and even the "snooty" ones are right there to help out and answer any questions I have. Next week will be my 4th retreat with the group and we have a great time. I agree a guild can become too large and from time to time we border on that but then the ones that really aren't interested drop out so we have a smaller group (about 25 to 30). Sorry about your experience but everyone on here is super.
