Do you belong to a Guild or a Bee? I would never have completed the projects or enjoyed myself so much if it weren't for my wonderful Bee. The ladies are supportive and encouraging. I am fairly new to quilting and being part of the Guild attending monthly meetings to see what others are doing and listening to speakers who are enthusiastic about the craft just adds to my confidence. The ladies in the Bee meet weekly and we plan monthly trips usually a shop-hop with a nice lunch. There are also Bees that meet evenings and Saturdays. Every Bee has it's own personality and the most important thing, is that they all love quilting and want to share thier enthusiasm. good luck!
