Hi Nancy, Yes i am in southeast ma...randolph..to be exact..where are you, what lqs do you frequent? I am not currently in a guild, a lot of us use to quilt at a shop in quincy that has since closed. We were lucky enough to join a group of many of the same friends who quilt once monthly at the marriott in stoughton..for right now that works fine for me...good friends..lots of laughs...all kinds of show and tell...and sometimes a lot more shopping trips than actual sewing but I love it and feel very lucky to belong. Let me know where you are located...thanks
