I belong to several quilting groups. One group asked me to join them to help instruct the new quilters, so in that group, I'm more advanced. However, in another group my work pales in comparison to those who are far more advanced than me. I sometimes marvel that mere hands can create the work they do! It is easy to become intimidated when we compare ourselves to others. I've even contemplated dropping out of that group. However I've decided that it is to my advantage to remain. This group raises the bar and these quilters inspire me to keep pressing on and my skills will improve. I'm sure your group recognized that you were a newer quilter, but they have confidence in you. Hang in there; you'll be so glad you did!
