It's so exposing showing your work to others - i know when I first joined the board and posted pics I was quaking in my shoes at what you'd all think! But here, everyone is very encourageing and appreciative of EVERYBODIES work - and that's how it should be! We all have different strengths and areas of expertise and they're all as valid as the other. When I hear of snotty guilds like this it makes my blood boil! Thank goodness there are no quilt police on here! And yes, maybe those members unfortunate enough to hit on a bad guild SHOULD try and change things from the inside but that's not always possible (and not everyone is as mouthy as me! LOL) - sometimes the status quo is so established, it's just not for changing. I'd say, find another one if you can, and leave the meanies to it!
