I have gone to a few quilt and craft shows, and while i love getting ideas and looking around..particularly during fair time, I often feel out of place...because all I see is grandmothers. I try to make comments that are really positive and look engulfed ( i am anyway but i am told i get a lost look on my face) so they can feel extra proud of their work...and of course, I make mention of how inspiring and helpful it is to see experienced work. I think it makes them feel good.
