I can get annoyed when a clerk (anywhere) asks and I answer truthfully what my plans are and they get all "Really?" about it. I pay for it, it's mine and what I do with it is my business. I often just say "I'm not sure yet. I just like it." But then I'm not really much for chit chat when I'm shopping and checking out. I guess because I'm hearing impaired and miss about 75% of what's being said on a good day.
b.zang: How bizarre that you were limited to what you could buy at a thrift store!I guess maybe they were expecting a huge number of quilters to come shopping and wanted to make sure everyone had a chance at the fabric. That's a first for me!
