I never go to my local quilt shop there are several within 50 miles of where I live. I have never been greated in any of the local shops in fact I am ignored or treeted rudely. However anytime I go to Ne I go to material girls where I am always treated like a friend no matter who is working that day, If I happen to have the time I will travel to Holdredge Ne to the quilt store there also. I also shop a little in tne Hastings Ne store where it is a 50 50 chance of whether you will be treated nice or not, go there mostly for ideas.
