I don't enter shows because I'm a perpetual dabbler, but after reading through these comments, I have to agree with Tashana and quilter2090 that constructive criticism could and should be valuable. I don't think you need to take everything to heart, especially if there's a highly perfectionist quilt police type of critique, but try to let yourself judge the source of whatever words are laid on your work and see what you can learn from it. Tell yourself "NO FEAR - This is a quilt show, not a matter of life or death!" It may be that you will get a different point of view from hearing the critique that will be very encouraging. Also, keep in mind that since you already have a "rooter" telling you it's good enough to enter, maybe the real surprise for you will be rave reviews and a ribbon! It wouldn't surprise me to read that here. Hope you give us a follow up. Good luck and enjoy the show!
