good topic, just today I went to the LQS and the sign on the door said "closed due to weather", weather? the sun was shinning in the middle of winter in michigan. I figure they might be skiers. And the other thing that gets me is when you are looking for something very specific and see it in one of the quilts hanging on the wall, ask about it and they say "oh, we dont have that any more". Likes, my LQS cuts by the inch, love that
