As in all group settings where you (me) think we are going to be judged we get nervous and feel inferior to what others can do.
NO FEAR HERE! I made a choice to not care about what othesr think about my work. The more mistakes I make in the class the funnier I got and the more fun I have. I do go to classes to learn, not be perfect. If I make a mistake, well, duh! I'm learning.
Many years ago I attended a class by Nancy Halpren. I never finished the project because I couldn't draw a straight line around a template, nor could I keep a sharp point on the pencil I was using. I was told I was unteachable and look at me now. I think I make rather nice quilts, Some are a little wonky, some stranges colors and funky quilting. I love them and have no fear of what any one wants to say.
Go with joy!
peace
Over the years I have learned that quilters are so affriad of their own work and it not being up to 'standards'.
I just love the doing, mistakes and all!
