I belong to a quilt guild. We have members from all skill levels. At the end of each meeting we have a share time. Anyone who wants can share what they have been working with since the last meeting. It really makes me feel good to see all the different levels of skill displayed. I think appreciation is the key. Find someone who doesn't quilt and show them your quilting first. They will ooohhh and ahhhh over it and it will make you feel so good!
