Congratulations on your accomplishment and you are so right. Those of us who have a bit more experienceshould always be willing to lead a novice and I really think for the most part, happens here on the QB.
Harder to do, is to convince those who always say just what you said at the beginning of your post. "I'll never be able to do that", is, yes they can, if they just........do it!
This is the rightest thing people say because if they don't try it, they will never accomplish it.
Who taught us us that we can't do "it", what ever it is? Every time we hear ourselves saying this, we need to do the thing we say we can't.
If I gave up after my first quilting failure, I would never sew again. How sad that would be.
peace to all, and try "it", you may find you like it.
