I wanted to encourage you and say not to be put off or give up on entering shows. I entered my first show 6 months ago - got 2 'goods' and the rest 'satisfactory'. Like you, I hated the word 'satisfactory' and felt that my work was better than that. Unlike you, I did not get a second, more favorable set of comments! The second show I entered was the BQTV show at Utoexeter that you did - and I won 2nd in wall hanging. My ticks went from 'satisfactory' to 'very good and 'excellent' and I can assure you the quality of my work has not improved that much in 6 months! What I think made the difference was a much stronger design. But as your 2 comment sheets show, so much is the taste of the judge. So keep going. And perhaps we should start a campaign to change 'satisfactory' to 'shows promise'? So much more encouraging.
