I got a phone call from the owner of the quilt shop where I live & she wants me to work for her starting this Monday using her long arm!!!! Can I tell everyone how excited I am? Well, I'm VERY excited. Just what I've been wanting to do.

Awesome! Congrats! Have fun but don't spend your entire paycheck on fabric - lol.

o how jealous am i!!!

lucky lucky you...

let us know how your first day goes

Oh you lucky girl! Many years ago I worked part time at Montgomery Ward in the fabirc dept. I used to make all my clothes as I am very short. I always spent my whole check on fabric. So don't so what I did, unless you just can't help yourself!!

Just remember.... It's for fun, it's not a job. Hate to see you get burned out working on others quilts.

Btw: have I told you how jealous I am?!?!???

Congratulations! Will you be able to stand the temptation? If not... will you at least get a discount on your purchases?

Congratulations!!!

Congratulations. This should be a lot of fun (and work). Enjoy and learn, learn, learn, and teach, teach, teach.

Congratulations! Sounds like my dream job!

good luck. I worked one day a week last summer and fall and spent almost all my money on fabric!! Anytime I cut fabric for someone and I hadn't noticed it, i was ohhhh and awwww and next thing you know I had some cut for myself!!! have fun!!!

congrats! :thumbup:

Wow. I would love to work at a quilt shop. What a great opportunity. But watch out for all the temptations there.

I am so happy for you! I know you will enjoy working there.

What better job to have is the one you love!

Congratulations!!!

Congratulations! How nice it will be to look forward to going to work. And to get paid for what you love to do, that is even better. Best of luck on your new adventure.

How awesome is that! Congrats!!!

lucky girl

I worked at Joanns many years ago....I always left most of my paycheck with the store.

FUN FUN FUN and MORE FUN. Now you get payed to go play.. Good luck and enjoy.

Oh My!

and you'll probably spend more than you make

Oh!!! You got my dream job! Lucky you!

When my youngest started to school until she graduated I worked at Minnestota Fabrics (now Hancock) We could keep a running tab until payday and then it would be deducted from our pay check. I had to really be careful not to over spend. Lots of wonderful benefits: made model garments for the store and then they became ours, great discounts. Even made her prom gowns as model garments. Great savings.
Wish we still had one in our area. I used to drive an hour away to one in Ohio (Hancock) but that has since closed too.

Congratulations!! Talk about a dream job :D:D:D

I always wanted to work at Walmart cutting fabric, then they cut back/out their fabrics. To me, to be able to touch and handle beautiful fabric everyday would be a possible cure to my fabric addiction ------------ NOT.

Congratulations! It won't be like work at all. I worked at a LQS years ago and it was so much fun.

Ok you win. I am extremely jealous! Have fun, enjoy and hope you get to bring your paycheck home. I don't think that I would.

I truly believe that God answers prayers. I have wanted a part time job doing what I love to do for quite some time now and to get to learn how to use a long arm - YES! That's what I will be doing. Please pray that I do well for her.

Congratulations! That would be my favorite job in a lifetime.

Congratulations!

that is great. have fun.

my DH made the comment a couple of months ago "that's what you should do-get a job in a quilt shop a couple days a week" I just looked at him and said-you might want to rethink that statement. and that was that!

Congrats on your new job. Have fun and try to bring a pay check home!!

Congratulations on the job! Sounds like fun. :lol:

Oh the ideas - quilt patterns, fabrics, quilting. Have lots of fun.

Congratulaions! I'm so happy for you. Keep us posted on how it works out. lol

Congratulations--but remember you will leave most of your pay check right there in the shop. grin. When I worked for a shop years ago, I sometimes ended up owing the shop some $$ at the end of a pay period. grin but oh what fun it was.

We all hope our dreams can come true. Maybe you will be busy enough with the LA that you won't have time to check out all those lovely fabrics, and be able to bring home more of the earnings. Good Luck.

WAY TO GO!!!!
