j*...you "will" become a recluse if you allow it to happen...
I've been there and done that....so I got my arse up off the
couch and just went. First time I went alone believe it or
not, I was scared. I mean, what kind of quilter goes to
shows alone?! That's what I preceived others would be
thinking about of me. Shoot, they don't know and me
them. So I went and the heck with the world! If I died going
to a quilt show, well, where's a better place to die!
I didn't say to many hello's to anyone I meet but did find
many quilters who like to fondle the same material as me.
LOL
I went thinking I'd have a horrible time but went anyway.
It is different then when you go with someone you know,
for sure, but it was still fun. And I had the choice to stay
as long as I wanted or to leave sooner then I had planned.
For me, it was the first huge step in just going! It was a
good decision.
I do hope you decide to go. If you find some fun, silly,
weird, crazy fat quarter, think of me. :) Then come back
here and tell me what I look like.
JUST DO IT!
