Folks, I am a "rank amateur" when it comes to quilting. However, anyone who, apparently very loudly, criticizes another's work needs to learn how to keep their mouth shut. That person also needs an attitude adjustment, IMHO! Anyone who "crabs" like that at a show where anyone can hear is the one who needs the improvement.
In my opinion, not one of us is "perfect". Only one man who walked this earth was perfect, and he was nailed to a tree. We can never achieve perfection --we're all human, and imperfect. We must strive for excellence, and not set a goal of perfection -- that goal will never be achieved. I've never entered a show, don't consider that I've enough experience quilting, etc. to enter a show. I make quilts and consider them made with love -- for my family. I'd rather make a quilt for love than for the sole goal of winning a ribbon. Sorry if I've stepped on anyone's toes -- JMHO!
