Michele says, “Always nervous with quilters and muggles, alike. I still share most of my makes despite this nervousness, but I always make sure my joy comes through so as to not leave room for anyone's negativity.”

 

Randi says, “I don't mind sharing my work with other quilters—they understand the feeling of accomplishment. Sometimes non quilters don't "get" improv and so sharing my hard work can be awkward. But usually friends will make a nice comment even if the quilt is a little wild for their taste.”

 

Nancy says, “To be honest I really love to share my work. Okay I said it. I will qualify my answer by also saying there is always some anxiety I feel in doing so, but deep down I want to be seen by others.”

 

Ah yes! to be seen by others. Take a brave step and share your work: in a quilt show, in an exhibit or post it inside our community to show your accomplishment with joy and you will be seen by others!

 

Take a peek at all that's going on inside BP this month below.

At this month's Groove Time members will gather to share with each other. What is your favorite quilting TOOL? What are your go-to TIPS? What's an awesome TRICK that you've learned to enhance your quilts? Let's continue to share our expertise with others on our journey of #MemberMentoring.

 

👉 Everybody: think about a quilting tool, tip or trick that you have learned and can share with others. You can bring more than one.

You may want to prep photos, props or documents ahead of time in order to share with us. You'll be able to share your screen during the zoom meeting, or you may create a post that I can share on your behalf during the meeting (tag it with #ToolsTipsAndTricks).

BravePatcher Jan Luca entered Date Night Blues into The Great Wisconsin Modern Mini Quilt Contes. She says, “I still consider myself 'new' to improv, so when this piece flowed, I was surprised and very satisfied!! I was able to use an old pair of jeans and stash fabric; even for the back. I've been listening to a lot of blues lately and I think I channeled some into this piece."
