I was just wondering if there were any members here from Elk Grove, CA? I've been wanting to join the local area guilds, but I have a medical handicap(I hate the word handicap) so let's just say I'm special:> I've got a rare, voice disorder and It's very hard for me to function in loud environments as I can't speak over the noise. It would be nice to have a quilting buddy local and or someone that could introduce me into the E.G. guild. Or just get together once in a while to work on projects.

Not from Elk Grove, but I enjoy going to Roseville area from San Jose about 3-4 times per year. Was just there a few weeks ago. Would love to meet you next time I'm in the area. Am pretty new to quilting and this site, and would welcome new quilting friends. Love your bird of paradise avatar. Is it your own design?

Candace,
I'm from Pleasanton, on the other side of Mount Diablo from you. If you do find time to get together with others, I would like to know about it.
In Pleasanton, we have Amador Valley Quilters - a 350 member quilt club that meets at our local middle school (Jr High) in their auditorium once a month - 2nd Sat of the month (normally at 1:30 pm but this month it will be 1:00 PM).
Pleasanton Middle School
5001 Case Ave
Pleasanton
Across street from Alameda Co Fairgrounds
Visitors are always welcome. I visited for the first time in July and have signed up as a member. The group has really good speakers, workshops, a lending library, quilt magazines for 25 cents, a block of the month challenge, and Community Quilts to be donated to local charities. The club is tax exempt (membership is tax deductible) $35 per year. We have folks traveling in from all over the Bay Area to attend the meetings. There will be a show in September at Alden Lane Nursery "Quilting under the Oaks" - the third weekend.
Check your local quilt shop (LQS) and see if any of the staff know of a local club. AVQ may be a distance for you to travel. I know of a club in Sacramento, and I think there is one in Lodi - but I'll have to check around.
Keep us posted on your efforts!
