We had friends visiting from Australia and they wanted to purchase large amounts of good fabric so we went to a quilt shop (now out of business) and M was prepared to buy. She saw a color that was up higher than she could reach and really wanted it...first thing out of his mouth was...are you going to buy some or am I wasting my time? Her face got very red and she said no that she wasn't going to buy anything and we were leaving. She had previously heard him tell a class that the pure way of quilting was by hand. We went to another shop and they went out of their way to help us and needless to say she spent a LOT of money and shipped the stuff home.
