Thanks to Kristin and Beth for this opportunity!
Great post! One thing I felt was a little bit skimmed was a group of people you trust--how does one find a group they can trust online or in their guild? Trust takes a while to build, and what happens when it is misfounded mid-way through a group bee? And let me tell you, getting out of a round robin is not easy or graceful. But sometimes it's still worth doing. Man I have anxiety and stress just typing about it! NEVER AGAIN.
ReplyDeleteYou're right, Renee, I did not go into a lot of detail about that. I feel like building trust is an individual thing that everyone can only really decide on themselves. In the first round, I wish we had thought more about the one person who dropped out. I know that if I ever participate in a long term one again, I won't make that mistake. I'm just glad we all got to make beautiful quilts and connect more (those of us who finished it out, anyway!). :)
DeleteGreat post, such helpful tips to have the best possible experience with a bee.
ReplyDeleteHI Jessica. I'd love to read your post on round robins. However, every time I try a link for it, from google or from above, the sewmamasew page comes up blank. Do you know if it's been removed, or if maybe there is a momentary glitch they're having? Thanks much.
