OMG!!! You are so right! Just because I'm younger and driver a H3 instead of a mini van doesn't mean I can't sew! And yes... I have tattoos too!
My favorite customer always came in wearing her 'colors' and we would keep her helmet under the counter until she checked out. Lots of tattoos. She always bought lots and so much fun to talk with. Great lady.
Pet peeve - I see a display quilt I love and, of course, they are out of the fabric and/or the pattern.
Favorite shop - someone is always in 'back' working on something and will give a live demo and free instructions for what she's working on. Of course, I have to buy fabric to make it, too. :thumbup:
