They are very well worth it -- first for a selfish reason -- I love the praise and applause when I show a finished project. I get a lot of inspiration from other quilters works.

Second is what I give back to others. One of my forst meetings when I moved to Maine, I showed a huge applique quilt. A lady told me later that I was her inspiration during a very difficult time. I also make quilts of valor with whatever groups I belong to as well as Linus, preemie and McDonald quilts.

I travelled the world meeting quilters through on live quilt guilds.

A group is what you put into it. Give it a try

Worth the time and money? Is it just about meetings or more?
