Well, it's time to let the cat out of the bag so to speak.

I got my dream job working in a quilt shop quilting on the longarm! It is the shop where I bought my Bernina and they have known me and my work for over a year now, and they asked me if I would be interested in working there quilting the quilt tops.

Whoo hoo! I start this Wednesday! I'm so excited!

Chele, the shop is quilting folks in Merritt Island, Fl. Do you ever get over this way?

Congrats and happy quilting

Jim's Gem 10-06-2008 03:13 PM

Congratulations, that sounds like a fun job to have!!!

quiltsRfun 10-06-2008 03:18 PM

Congrats! Just one word of warning. . . beware of burnout. I'm also a knitter and worked at a couple of knit shops. We offered personal instruction and after dealing with difficult customers I sometimes had a hard time even picking up my own knitting. Don't let the hard cases get to you.

Knot Sew 10-06-2008 03:25 PM

Do you get to use the long arm to do your own quilts? Sounds good as long as it doesn't take up all your time :D :D I hope it is everthing good and you have heaps of fun :D

sewnsewer2 10-06-2008 04:23 PM

Thanks for the advise quiltsRfun.

Ruth Camp, yes, I can use it on my days off and it will be a part time job anyway.

justquiltin' 10-06-2008 05:20 PM

Congrats :D . So happy for you!

Marcia 10-06-2008 06:27 PM

Congratulations!!! I am tickled to death for you!!!

Hey-I used to live on Merritt Island!! But it was a long time ago-in the 1960's and I was in the 6th grade. I have not been back since.

beachlady 10-06-2008 06:34 PM

Sounds like a dream job, but don't spend all your pay in there!!!

Blue Bell 10-06-2008 06:36 PM

How exciting. Congratulations!

sewnsewer2 10-06-2008 07:00 PM

I don't think I'll be quilting other peoples quilts outside the shop.

Yeah, I really have to watch the temptation spending all my pay at the shop. :lol: :lol:
