I know what you mean. My DH and I went to a very large and very nice quilt shop. This was in north Oklahoma City a very up class quilt shop. Talk about no help. She just here and left. I picked up a few bolts of fabric looked at them and just got a terrible and disgust feeling. I put everything back and we walked out of the shop, nothing said. I've been to one in Norman, again everything and anything you want. No help, no hi, no nothing. Walked into a shop in Midwest City and instantly felt at home, and this is just as we got our feet in the door. They are getting in some batiks this month and are going to help be find the right ones. It's probably 70 miles or more from where I live but when someone makes you feel good about what you are doing, no such thing as a dumb question and are willing to go that extra mile, I'm willing to do the same. Have a great Tues. I need to get to work. Talk about driving. It may cheaper to rent a room during the week and come home on weekends. :).
