I was also intimidated by the other quilts shown in our guild. But a friend oohed and ahhed over a panel that I had hand quilted and she just insisted that I show it. And I did get a nice round of applause. We also have a person who photographs each show & tell at each meeting and then places them in a scrapbook. She always makes 2 copies so if you want, you can take your picture home. However, she didn't take a picture of mine -- while that really upset me at the time, I just considered the "source". I honestly think she just missed taking the picture....(well, that's my story and I'm sticking to it!!) So now, I take what I want and if someone doesn't think it's good enough -- well, that's just too bad!!
