I think it's a great idea! I belong to a guild...nice ladies, I think...Don't get to go much, their meetings seem to coinside with me being out of town or having my grandson. I like to be able to drop by here just anytime and get a little quilting fix. I can tell most of the ladies in the guild here have been together a long time and enjoy each other's company. I'm new, so haven't really been able to do much bonding. It's hard when it's all business and not much time to socialize. Or maybe socials were the meetings I missed. I certainly don't blame them. They really do seem very nice. And they seem accepting of work shared, which doesn't seem to be the case with some of the guilds out there and mentioned on this board. Anyway, I go there when I can and come here EVERY day :D !
