Thank you all for your encouraging words. If all goes well, maybe I will enter another show or a county fair.

I can understand your apprehension.

I have quilted for a VERY long time, but never had the nerve to enter one in a show. Then Janet-Lee (MQX) had posted that they needed some more pantograph entries. So I nervously submitted my pics... and was accepted!!
I didn't win anything, but just getting accepted into a big show like that was thrilling!! And I got some very helpful feedback from the judges.

I'm hoping to enter two next spring... if I get them finished in time!

Once you get past that first entry... it gets easier.
Oh, and since I didn't attend the show in person, I didn't have to listen to "ugly comments".

If you do attend the show, I suggest that you NOT hang around your quilt... unless you enjoy listening to comments ranging from "oh wow!!" to "ewwww!!"

I agree with letawellman's comment <snip> If you do attend the show, I suggest that you NOT hang around your quilt... unless you enjoy listening to comments ranging from "oh wow!!" to "ewwww!!"</>

It is very much encouraged to stay with your quilt to talk about it with others but I say 'no' when you are new to entering quilt shows.
