wow! So there is someone out there that thinks like me!!! I go to the guild meeting and take some classes at local quilt shop and feel so dumb. At the guild, I mostly just take it all in, (don't do it myself). When I see the ideas and skills others have I know I am never going to be at that level (I don't have many years left to practice) so I don't even want to try... I have the machine, the notions and the time but not the confidence. So I check this board and see what everyone is doing and am glad that you all enjoy it......
