I just love your post. This is why I have not joined a guild. I have found them to be very snobby. I want my quilting to fun and reflect what I love
I went through three guilds before I settled on one. Some guilds have a few too many people who, like the cliques in high school, don't want new members. My present guild has a couple of folks like that, I just ignore them and enjoy the ones who enjoy me.
Joining a guild is sometimes like finding your handsome prince, You have to kiss a lot of frogs first.

I tell my students and friends that some of the best quilters in the world did not know 'the rules' when they started quilting, and they have produced award winning work. Also, there are no new mistakes, as I, and every other quilter I know, have made them all before. Besides, mistakes are just design challenges! Embrace them & learn from them.
And never listen to anybody who makes you feel your work isn't 'good enough.'

No quilt police here although sometimes a few people try to rock the boat. I tell them I am the Chief of Police and I will throw them out of the sewing room. I have learned lately that the reason so many people complain at my quilts is that they are unhappy with themselves because they have not finished something they are working on or are too lazy to even start. No one is perfect at anything and the one who is perfect took it upon himself to save us and no one can compare to him. (amen!!!!) All quilts are ribbon winners already just by the fact that you took the time to make it and went WOW. No negatives all quilts are a learning process and everyone has a different way of doing things what works for one may not for another we all have different taste of color texture etcs hey just like a quilt!!!
