Hey, Chris, my husband quilts with me. I depend upon him for accurate cuts with the rotary cutter, and he depends upon me for the right color combinations. He goes into quilt shops with me and never has a problem.
I was in two wonderful shops in Indiana, Indianapolis, Northwest side recently and loved them. They were well known shops, voted the best in the area and not hard to find. Very friendly. Staff was very friendly. I get emails from both now. Try, try again. We all have bad days. Smile. Ask questions.
