Other's have asked the same in the responses... Where in OH are you?? anywhere around Lorain, OH?? on Lake Erie?? There are a few guilds in the area...Amherst and Vermilion and I believe Westlake too!
For more info, contact me "privately" through this site (private messages in the menu above).

We have a Vocational School that teaches all sorts of classes.. heavy duty stuff.. but they also have classes on wood carving and golf..photography and quilting... perhaps you have one in your area.. or one that's close enough to take a few weeks class from. Generally the art/craft classes are shorter than the auto machanic or heat and air type classes!

Is there an LDS church in your town? There's sure to be a quilting group there, if not a formal guild. Many other churches also have quilting groups, as well as county-funded community centers. You're bound to find something close by! Good luck!
