I have just been invided by my son's girlfriend's mother to attend a guild meeting tonight in Poway. I have never been to one-in fact, I haven't really even met anyone here who quilts except on this board! Unfortunately, it is Valentines day and DH just asked me what I wanted to do tonight. I will make it up to him---I PROMISE! Guess you can tell my priorities!! I can't wait!!

I joined my first guild in Dec of last year. I'm loving it.
We have had wonderful guest speakers. The guild has over 300 members. Lots of nice friendly people.

I joined my first quilt guild two yrs ago, and haven't regretted it for a second. Our guild is small, about 35 members, and we've become very close. These ladies have become like sisters and mothers and daughters to me. I truly love them. We meet weekly. One or two meetings per month devoted to community service. We make charity quilts, chemo caps and turbans, port pillows and arm pillows for mastectomy patients. One week is education. We have lots of wonderful classes. One week is our business meeting and one week is work on whatever project you want. Love it! Tomorrow is my guild day and we are making a table topper with scalloped edges. Fun.

Hope you have a good time meeting lots of quilters in the flesh.

You'll have fun! Don't be shy ask questions about anything you don't understand. Take something for show and tell. Each guild seems to have one self appointed biddy so just be amused. Come prepared to enjoy yourself and just jump in with a smile.
