She is not a sewer or quilter, she was dressed in her work clothes (painters clothes) and was completely out of her element. On top of that, she got to the shop about 4:45 and they closed at 5pm. All she wanted was a gift certificate. They wouldn't sell her one, because she didn't know what class I might like or what kind of fabric or notions. She was also treated less than kindly because of the way she was dressed (rude comes to mind). My friend described the person to me and it had to be the owner of the shop. They are still in business. Don't like her or her shop. An easy sale lost. Too bad for them!
