My guild used to be $25, has recently gone up to $30. We do a raffle quilt every year to raise funds also. With this money we are able to pay for the space we use at the local library and bring in speakers and teachers from all over. I was very lucky to go to a class with Bonnie Hunter about 5 years ago before she became a household word. I did not rejoin my guild last year, mostly due to time constraints and family issues at the time. I hope to get back to it this fall. It was well worth the money for the things I've learned, the friends I've made and for the mini quilt show we have every month during show and tell time.
