The guild that I belonged to until this year has several published authors of quilt books and several award-winning quilters. I enjoyed being in the guild, but I always felt like I didn't measure up, so I know just how you feel. I changed guilds a few month ago to one that is much closer to my home. With the price of gas what it is, I didn't feel that I could keep driving that far to meetings. I do miss the ladies in that guild, but I am more comfortable in the one I belong to now. We have some very talented quilters, but they are a little closer to my level. I still have a long way to go to be as good a quilter as some of the ladies, but it gives me something to strive for.

That's where I went too! Loved looking at all the quilts (and realized they're not all perfect either). I really want to try the Lonestar piecing using the printed interfacing. She made it look so easy.
