Years ago I worked in a fabric store and learned so much. I hope it will be time well spent and enjoyed.

Congratulations! Sounds great to me!

I'm not sure I could do it. I'm addicted to fabric so it would be like an alcoholic working in a brewery.

Jingle, do the kids get to keep those quilts when they get moved again? I wonder if Childrens Services makes any special effort to help the kids keep that one personal thing.

It seems that no matter how many quilts we make for needy children, there are never enough quilts to go around. My guild used to make quilts for people who lost their homes to fire and for children being removed from unsafe homes.

I have wondered about that, too.

Enjoy it! It can be fun. I worked in 3 different quilt shops. Two of them while I was still working a full-time job and I enjoyed both. The 3rd one was after I retired. I didn't enjoy that one so much and only lasted a week. Now I just do other things.

Yep! It's a dream job. My boss knows what he's doing by hiring all of us fabriholics.

Our quilt group makes quilts for kids in need too and always put their names on them.

When I worked with children so many went from foster home to foster home. Using pillowcases came in handy for them to pack their few belongings. I'm sure the quilts are appreciated
