Oh don't give up! You can meet the most WONDERFUL people at a guild meeting - - QUILT people!! My favorite kind!
You need to get involved in something, volunteer for something and you will meet some of the ladies and from there you can find out about any smaller groups that just meet and quilt.
When I retired and moved here 4 years ago, I volunteered to do the newsletter because I have some good computer graphic skills. From that, I got to know just about everybody (our guild has 79 ladies) and now they LOVE the newsletter so much, they won't let me quit! LOL! But I love doing it as much as they love reading it, so I don't mind. (Besides, then I don't have to be Secretary or Treasurer! I already HAVE a guild job. Tehee)
You will only get as much OUT of it as you put IN. Put yourself out there girl!! Make some quilty friends!
