I quilt at home alone, but I also enjoy taking classes, sometimes to learn new skills and sometimes because a quilt catches my eye and I enjoy the company and seeing the color combinations that others choose. I've thought about joining a guild, but I'd probably feel like attending the meetings was an obligation, which would take away the fun for me.

I belong to the local guild and a small group that started from off the guild. I wouldn't be without either of them. They both offer lots. I wouldn't be without either of them.
I do love this board, but sometimes getting together with friends with the same interest is even better!
For those of you that have tried a guild but didn't like it, give it another chance. Even though you might not have liked it the first time, maybe it was just you didn't care for what they were doing. Go a few times before making a judgement. You may find lots of new quilting buddies!

I am home. I used to have friends that came to quilt but now they come to relax, eat and drink a glass of wine. Oh well. I love them. Unfortunately the guild meets at a time I can't get there and the LQS store that had a sit and sew time closed.

I think it has only been a negative term to one person. To the rest of us it is a play on words. We are addicted to quilting; we mostly quilt alone in our home; ergo, we are closet quilters. We need to understand the humor that was in the first message; it was really quite clever. I think it corresponds very well to any other addiction carried on in private that someone spends lots of money on, does privately, has no intention of quitting, is sure that it doesn't harm anyone else, etc. That describes my quilting. LOL!!
