I love taking classes, but do not necessarily love all the ones I take.
At uni I am often the first to finish an exam and that freaks out classmates that take an hour longer than me. I reassure them that just because I am fast, does not mean I do better than them. Although I generally am in the top 5% of a class.
With quilting and sewing, I am slower, much slower than others. I quilt as a hobby and only a couple hours a month if I am lucky. I will never be as fast nor as accurate as those who quilt daily or weekly. That is ok, I am there to learn new skills.
I took a couple bra making classes this spring. One woman in the class made two bras int eh time it took me to make one. I am ok with that. I learned a new pattern, how to fit my body and have a great fitting colourful bra to wear. That is what matters in the end.
