I felt the same way. I took a basic quilting class and loved it, so I signed up for the next level. Different instructor. I walked out of that first class in tears determined NEVER to quilt again, that it wasn't for me. Fortunately my first instructor had given me (and all the class) her home phone number. I called her to cry on her shoulder and she invited me over to her house to take lessons with a private group she had going there. The instructor was my friend JoeAnn, and the rest is history. You can get it. I would suggest taking a beginners class at one of your LQS, and go on from there. You will learn valuable tips and make friends too. Hang in there and good luck. If I can do it, anyone can!
