Hi Mellie,
I know what you mean about being a newbie. My first class was a hand quilting class because I didn't know there was any other way to do it! Also, I would have failed my sewing class in high school if my sister didn't do my projects at home for me. We all start somewhere but I am amazed that so-called designers can make a living by changing the color of a traditional pattern and call it their own. I'm sure you will be able to do some of the more complicated patterns when you put your mind to it. Have fun and good luck!

(it is so funny when you realize how easy a pattern/square really is once you know how it goes together). That being said, I think the more difficult/original patterns have their place as well. I cant wait to be able to make some!! :) Keep up the great work of designing!!
