And one other thing I just remembered. She didn't make me feel stupid when I said a really dumb thing. Granted, I was still (am still) pumped that I got a brand new niece this morning! So maybe I was a bit absent minded. Or maybe it's the latest excuse I can find for a "senior moment."
Anyhow, this is the dumb thing I said: ''If you wouldn't mind, could you please cut a fat quarter from that half yard of blue? The mat I brought with me is only 17 inches long."
I didn't think about it till I was walking out! She could EASILY have snorted or laughed and said, "You could fold into 4 layers and then cut it," but she didn't. She smiled and said, "Why, sure I can!"
NJ Quilter, you would enjoy the shop and the crab cakes around! Also, if you do come down, head over to another good shop called Serendipity. It's in Dagsboro, maybe 20 minutes from Mare's Quilt Shop? I went there last year and really liked it. It's a LARGE, two-story shop, well-organized, and friendly.
