I live about halfway between 2 quilt shops. One is large and carries an amazing selection of fabrics. The staff however is another story. Had a bad encounter with one sales clerk who , while great at figuring out how much fabric you need for a quilt and can do it in her head, she has the personality of a rock!The little shop knows me by name sent sympathy and get well cards when I was in the hospital and when I lost my mother and generally is pleasant when I have obnoxious questions about dumb stuff that I should have known anyway!!
