Shattered Vows: Call Me Auntie Now novel Chapter 415

Lorraine looked at Quinn and spoke gently, "With only a dozen days left until the Lumina Couture Awards finals, there's absolutely no time to teach you the craft from scratch. But I can personally teach you the specific, dedicated stitching techniques required to bring this landscape to life on your dress."

She paused, then offered the ultimate solution. "Stay here at my studio as a resident student for the time being. I'll guide you step-by-step to complete this landscape embroidery on your gown."

Hearing Lorraine's offer, Quinn's eyes lit up, though she still couldn't quite believe it.

"Ms. Ambrose... are you really willing to teach me?"

Lorraine laughed at the pure, unadulterated joy in the younger woman's eyes.

"You have the passion, the foundational skill, and a genuine eagerness to learn. A design this spectacular shouldn't be handed off to an anonymous contractor. Stitching it yourself with heritage silk embroidery is the only rightful destiny for this dress."

In her decades in the industry, Lorraine had seen far too many impatient young designers chasing quick success. Lately, she had met countless people who claimed they wanted to learn the craft, but were really just chasing media hype and viral stunts.

But Quinn was different. Her designs had a soul. She had both grounding maturity and brilliant artistic flair—a devastatingly rare combination in the younger generation.

"I can teach you," Lorraine confirmed with a warm nod. "For the next two weeks, you'll stay focused here at the studio. I'll carve out time every day to teach you the intricate shading techniques, the transitional color blends, and the layered landscape stitches. We will push to get this masterpiece finished before your final."

Quinn bowed deeply, a radiant smile on her face, her tone brimming with absolute sincerity. "Thank you so much, Ms. Ambrose. I promise to learn with everything I have. I won't let you down."

"Save your thanks for later. Heritage silk embroidery is a vast, profoundly deep art form. You won't master it in a mere dozen days. Once your competition is over, you must come back for systematic training so you can truly grasp the soul of the craft."

Watching from the sidelines, Lillian smiled knowingly.

Just like herself, Lorraine had an eye for true talent. She was genuinely planning to take Quinn on as an official apprentice.

If she wasn't, she could have simply given some half-hearted advice just to satisfy Linda's favor from Empire Fashion Group. There would be no need to invest this much time and effort.

Quinn replied happily, "It is my absolute honor that you think so highly of me. I would love nothing more than to come back and keep learning."
