I like to have a friendly atmosphere. My DD is almost 3, and she goes everywhere with me. She even does a bit of her own sewing (I guide the fabric, she presses the foot pedal or turns the wheel on my treadle) she PICKS her own fabric, and if she says she wants something, chances are if it's a FQ, I'll get it and we'll make at least a doll quilt out of it.
If the owner can't treat my DD with respect then I'm leaving.
