I would be happy to mentor you if you would like. I don't know everything and I've only been sewing for 2 1/2 years but I'm making custom king quilts now to order. I have learned everything from the basic quilting squares to stained glass to applique. I have even made some fabric mosaics. I'll send pics if you would like to see or check back several postings and you'll see some of my quilts I showed.
