I am so excited :) :)

I am part of a quilting guild here (Calgary Modern Quilt Guild) we meet every third Saturday of each month at a quilting store (Traditional Pastimes). I have become very good friends with the owner. The owner Bernadette has offered me a job at her store working Thursday evenings. I am so excited, I love working in fabric stores.

My first job when I was 14 was working for Fabricland in Lethbridge, I stayed there for 2 years. :) I had so much fabric, but when I moved to Calgary I had to get rid of it all. :( So this is my chance to build up my stash again and see all the new fabrics coming into the store before anyone else does lol.

I am so excited to be working there soon :)
Hugs to all, and thanks for letting me share. :)

I am excited for you. What an opportunity!

Here is the website :) http://www.traditionalpastimes.com/pg/index.php

Good for you! Be careful that you don't spend more there then you make, or is that the idea? :lol: :lol:

I get the opportunity to work for money or fabric. I am still undecided. I am a nanny during the day so I do get a pay cheque. My hubby thinks maybe I should work for fabric because it is not cheap, and I can order it from her disributors by the bolt at cost, so I get it wayyyyyyy cheaper. lol!

Congratulations. This should be great fun.

Good for you, Ashley!!

I once worked in a bookstore in SC, which was not a good thing because I took home more books than I did money...LOL. But I LOVED that job!!

oh my... it would NEVER DO for me to work in a fabric store!.. I've end up owing THEM money!

Whoa, I'd work for fabric anytime!!

I'd work for fabric too & your hubby thinks it's a great idea too :) you go girl !

I'd work for fabric, especially since your hubby supports that! He's a keeper.

Sounds like a win-win deal good job!!!

Congratulations!!

I have a frined who works at Joann's and her hubby thought she was paid in fabric her first few months. LOL. Now he knows. ROFL COngrats.

AWESOME!!! Sounds like a fun job!

Congratulations! Sounds like a dream job for a quilter!!

Congrats! I toured the quilt shop (through the link) and it looks like a fun place to play, I mean work. Lucky you!

Ditto!! :thumbup:

Congratulations on your job, Im sure you will have lots of fun. And buy lots of fabric.

sounds like you'll have sew much fun

Thanks everyone :)

How wonderful. I would love to work in a fabric store. Have fun.

What a terrific blessing.....to love what you do and do what you love. I agree, fabric is costly so getting it cheaper any time is a deal. Ponder over everything you see at first or you will end up buying the whole store.

Enjoy your new job and I am sure the customers will welcome you with open arms.

Congrats!

Oh that store looks lovely! Hope you enjoy your new job.

wow, your lucky, I say get the fabric!!! I would love to work for fabric, but I can't send my phone company, ect. fabric to pay my bills...lol.

Congrats! But I couldn't work in a great fabric place...I'd spend more than I made!
Blessings,
MaryAnna

Congratulations! That's wonderful. Work and play at the same time!

Enjoy !!!

Excellent...lucky you!

Congratulations! What an opportunity to see the newest lines of fabric and all the notions, etc. And to be able to TOUCH all that beautiful fabric. I taught a couple of classes at a fabric store and every week I brought home a batch of fabric with lots of plans for it. Well, today some of that fabric is still waiting for me.

:wink:

Congratulations have fun

I work one day a week at a LQS and spend more than I make, of course, but love seeing all the fabric. Love seeing what people are making with fabrics that aren't my style as well. Enjoy yourself.

How fun!

Congradulations! I am so happy for you. What a great job. Will you still have time to sew after working both jobs? I am sure you will make time.

Congratulations! Sounds like it will be a lot of fun!

OH I will make time, lol. I will have time on weekends as that is my free time. :) Thanks everyone!

Well, I for one am very jealous! Congratulations!

Congratulations on your new job. Sounds like a perfect job for a quilter :thumbup:

So happy for you!! Sounds perfect!

Lucky you, my job these days is mostly keeping hubby of 51 years in line, and teaching some "one on one" sewing lessons for those who want to learn the craft!
