Well this is why im not a joiner. I'm my own worse critic, so I don't need virtual strangers telling my how bad something is or you could have done this better.. If I want that i'll ask my sister.
I appreciate all your answers to this question because you find these people in every club or organization out there.
Olebat, I do love your answer, it can all be in the way you ask for feedback as to what kind you get. I don't mind critisisim as long as it is helpful and not hurtful. Since im just learning and have yet to complete a project, I think i'm still protected for a short time from the quilt police.
