First Guild Meeting
Tricia,
Is this a small group or large? If it is a large group I suggest that you get involved in one of the smaller groups that meet weekly or bi-weekly.. if they have them. Getting involved with a small group 20 makes quilting so much more fun! I have made the best friends ever through the local quilting guilds and my quilting group at church! You needn't worry, you have something in common, that will make the communication just flow. If someone doesn't ask you about what you are doing, you will just have to ask them! Or ask for help, I find that everyone is interested if you ask for thier opinion. Carol in TX need therapy? Make a quilt! |

First Guild Meeting
" I was the youngest person there by at least a decade and in many
cases by 2 (at least)." I am definitely of the youngest generation in attendance at my guild. Not too many my age present. But dang those older ladies are fun. And the best way to stop feeling like a wall flower and part of the group is volunteer. I started by volunteering to hang quilts for the show. I met and made so many good friends. The I volunteered to help run the workshops. Not to toot my own horn, but apparently my enthusiasm is catchy and I am so well liked and approached now...the current president wants me to be the next pres when her two terms are over. I KNOW the nominating committee will be all over me then. Not sure if I am ready for that step though...I might put them off for another 2 years. .... But I can tell you...having new people volunteer gets the guild's juices FLOWING! Melissa in NJ *32 yr old quilter* |

First Guild Meeting
Thank you all for the encouragement and the advice to jump in and
volunteer. I'm waiting until Jan to try again and see what I feel like then. I like that there is a chance to win a collection of FQs at the meetings -- 50 cents buys a raffle ticket =) Goodness knows, my stash could always use improving =) As for volunteering, I don't know much about anything in regards to quilting. I know if there is a need for someone to do web page maintainence or something similiar like that I'll be among the first to put my name in -- I know how to do the behind the scenes stuff pretty well when it doesn't involve a telephone (*shudder*) -- but for organizing shows or presentations or whatever, I've not even attended them to know what would need to be done =) For all my time hanging around here in the last several years, I am still a quilt virgin. Thanks, Tricia Melissa, I'm only 2 years behind ya =) |
