guild night..sigh
#72
I don't belong to a guild, but my church has a group "Peace by Piece". We meet once a month from 10-3. We work on our own projects and we also do charity quilts. We are a low key, fun bunch. We even have members that come and knit. I would keep checking around. Ask anyone and everyone. Who knows, maybe the hardware store has a conference room they would let you use for a day once a month? Think outside the box and I'm sure you will find someplace:-)

I run a small group(10) of quilters at our Senior Center. We make 4 quilts a year for the center to raffle off. They pay for the batting, backing and the quiltting, so all we have to do is make t he top.By making these quilts we get to use a large room with good lighting and a lot of room to stretch out for 2 days a week from 8am to 8pm. We all work together on the quilts. We do have to bring in our own machines but there is a door to the outside where we can park so we don't have to carry them far. We also have a storage room to store some supplies. We have it made. My husband and another gentleman add alot of fun to our group. They have both made a quilt by themself to raffle off and made more money for the center then the woman. LOL.We all work on our own projetcts and help each other.

I was a committee chair in 2 guilds. They were board positions. Sometimes they didn't like it when I asked why or disagreed. I've cut back on my commitments. I needed more time for me.

I don't belong to a guild, doesn't fit into work schedule. But I loved going to a monthly strip poker night at LQS. We had lots of fun & made alot of useful items. The shop closed due to the economy. I'd love to do strip poker again. So much fun.
