I'm sorry you have experienced problems taking your children to a lqs. I used to work in a lqs, and the owner had a place where children were welcome to play while their parent shopped. It was wonderful. Not only did the children enjoy the time much more, they weren't whining to leave the store. And Mom/Dad usually spent a little more time, and sometimes more money. When the little ones were encouraged to get involved in converstaions - 'what are your favorite colors", etc. - it was interesting to hear how much they 'helped' in the process at home.
I'll bet your children are involved in quilting at home, too, aren't they?
