My Guild has a show every other year and it causes so much anxiety in the Guild. So many people bring out the talons in competition and it creates fighting and backstabbing. Many people don't participate because there is not a do not judge category and they don't feel they can win. This is why I always put something in, maybe it will help others in your Guild. I participate to participate. Just like we tell children to do their best, I do my best. I know I will not win against the professional long armers, computer pantographs and experienced quilters. But what I try to do is put something in that I didn't think I could do. This year is a DWR with Cherrywood fabrics. It's the best I've done. (So far).
