THANK YOU....you might feel like this was a VENT, but actually it was a PSA....people do need to realize not every person who calls them self a "quilter" is spending hours shopping, buying all the NEW notions, books, machines, etc. Some are actually practicing the ART/Craft of actually doing their quilting the good old fashioned, time honored more traditional way! There are shops out there that do cater to people like you, but sadly I think they are all in Alaska or PA!
I am glad you found what you needed online, but wish too that you could have had a more enjoyable relationship with the LQS. AS a side note, she could have ordered all of that for you if she really wanted your business!
