My first guild meeting was back about 27 years ago. I had only been quilting about 2 years at the most and a quilting acquaintance from a quilter I met online and lived with in a couple miles of me asked me if I wanted to go to her quilt guild they were just opening membership again because they were not at capacity at that time. So I went and fell in love. The charm exchange and book give away were great. So many quilters and so many beautiful quilts for Show and Tell. I was a bit overwhelmed. I joined that night and was tickled at each monthly meeting until I moved out of the area. I showed my first Show and Tell quilt there. It seemed there was something going on every month. I recall just sitting there and stitching one night as that was the plan for the evening.
