As a beginner, I found this thread fascinating. Lots of tips and ideas I can put to use to grow my skills.
Kudos to all who gave “feedback.” It’s very hard to give in a way that doesn’t sound critical. It’s a risk for the person giving feedback.
And I totally agree with maviskw.......your actions show a kind heart, profannie. You even hesitated to say “suspicious” regarding the shop’s motives. Not being so kindhearted, I thought that immediately.
I love the pattern. It’s very pretty.
Thank you for posting the thread.
