Got to tell ya you are not the only lurker out there i have been hiding in the shadows for the last two months trying to get up the courage to show some of my work. Here is my problem i am so critical of what i make that i find all the screw ups before anyone else can even get close to it and therefore i hide it away and dont show anyone. I have only been teaching myself how to quilt in the last year. I am so afraid of making mistakes that i cant make myself take classes for this reason. I enjoy my form of quilting, just to scared to show it to anybody but my husband and he tells me its good but he's my husband and would never tell me that is wasnt. So i will most likely lurk around in the shadows for a long time.
