I agree with you. I have stopped taking workshops, etc. because I am always behind. Then, I have to wait until the instructor is free to help me; and then I am more behind! She moves on to the next step and I am still struggling with the first one. It is great to be in the company of others and learn new techniques but thank God, I get that from my quilting guild and also quilting retreats. I find them much more relaxing and informative and I can work at my own pace. Good luck with whatever you decide.
