oh yes, been there, done that! don't know why, but it is a major reason, I don't want family seeing my stuff, while i am working on it.
Quilting is fun, but we are serious about our creations. They are an expression of our inner selves. It hurts to have someone, "critique", it, especially without being asked.
I have to be in a good mode, to be my most creative, so I don't sew when I'm not in a good mood. They just don't go together. Hubby's forget how much their comments affect us. He would take it back, if he knew how it made you feel, but that's like trying to put the feathers back on the turkey...toooo late.
I think posting a pic is a good idea. I think that would help.:D
