What a great opportunity, getting paid to have fun. Congrattulations on your new job. You're one lucky lady. Enjoy.

DottyD 10-01-2011 03:44 AM

Thanks everyone -- I must admit I am SO excited and cannot believe I am so lucky. I do hope it works out and I will let you know how I get on. I doubt very much that I will bring any wages home !!!!!!!!!!!

I got the same offer from my friend who owns a quilt shop. She said she would pay in dollars or fabric. Guess which one I chose??? :lol: :lol: :lol:

MoMiMi 10-01-2011 03:56 AM

Heavenly job !!!!

tmg 10-01-2011 04:02 AM

Sounds like fun. Only thing with me doing something like that is I would be paying to work there.

ka9sdn 10-01-2011 04:17 AM

Great going. Just what I would love to do.

Congratulations, and have fun! How lucky you are!

I feel like wearing a sign each time I go into a quilt shop...Will Work for Fabric!!!

I keep telling my local Quilt Shop (Sisters) that I will work for fabric a few days a week. No takers yet!!

Iraxy 10-01-2011 05:05 AM

I see that no where do you mention money. Glad to see that as you probably won't take much home in cash with all those wonderful, beautiful fabrics around. :)
Have fun, and go ahead, spend the whole salary on fabric. Think of it as free fabric. Who can complain?

polly13 10-01-2011 05:12 AM

Add my name to the list of those who are extremely happy for you to work where it will be play with people you enjoy.

MimiLinda 10-01-2011 05:14 AM

Sound like the perfect part time job. You will have the BEST of both worlds. :thumbup:

Maris 10-01-2011 05:31 AM

I always wanted to do that--even volunteer to work there for free. To work and have fun--how much better can life get? Great friend to ask you.

Rosie the "Ripper" 10-01-2011 05:32 AM

Now that is what I call THE perfect retirement! Have fun.

nancy59 10-01-2011 05:34 AM

I am jealous, what fun. Perfect for someone who has just retired. I know I miss seeing people on a daily basis. I can't tell you how excited I am that my husband is gone this weekend and I have until tomorrow night by myself in my sewing cave. I almost paid the friend who took him away!

DirtyPaw 10-01-2011 05:34 AM

Congrats and I hope you have great fun.

michelehuston 10-01-2011 05:37 AM

I'm sure that's what a lot of employees do

pineneedles4 10-01-2011 06:13 AM

What a dream job! I wouldn't have any problem jumping out of bed to go to work if I worked in such a creative place! How wonderful!

dunster 10-01-2011 06:17 AM

Dream job is right. Have fun and tell us all about it.

I got an email recently that a fabric company was looking for a salesperson for part of Oregon. If I had lived in the sales territory I might have applied. That would be another dream job.

Happy Linda 10-01-2011 06:28 AM

Your going to love it:)

Glenda m 10-01-2011 06:39 AM

That sounds so great. I miss working in the fabric department. We got to see and buy the fabric when it first came in. Got some really good buys.

WisWis 10-01-2011 06:59 AM

Congratulations on your retirement and new job-what a fabulous friend to have!

BarbZ 10-01-2011 07:01 AM

LUCKY YOU. HAVE FUN AND DID YOU TELL HER TO JUST NOT BOTHER TO MAKE YOUR CHECK OUT EACH WEEK. LOLOLOL

wvdek 10-01-2011 07:04 AM

Sounds wonderful!

Hope it does not turn into a JOB and you feel inundated.

My time 10-01-2011 07:16 AM

Lucky duck, sounds great. Congratulations.

trif 10-01-2011 07:19 AM

Ahh the dream job :). Congrats on your new job, enjoy and have fun!

GJoyce 10-01-2011 07:31 AM

WOW, Lucky you. What fun to be back in the lime light again. Congratulations

GlitzyMe 10-01-2011 07:33 AM

You will have a wonderful time and come home with all the new stuff that comes into the shop - no money, tho :-)

MaggieMeg 10-01-2011 09:26 AM

gramquilter2 10-01-2011 09:27 AM

carolynjo 10-01-2011 09:48 AM

Congratulations. This sounds like a wonderful opportunity for you. However, be careful that you don't end up owing her money at the end of the month! Ha..Ha..

wraez 10-01-2011 10:03 AM

You are so fortunate to be offered a job doing something you would enjoy. Just be sure you don't spend all of your income on your passion for fabrics, LOL.

Thumbelina 10-01-2011 10:36 AM

Congratulations. I'm sure you'll find much enjoyment there. I got to work in a quilt for 2 years before it closed it's doors and it was such fun. So enjoy, and come share your experiences with us.

valerieolm 10-01-2011 10:41 AM

Congratulations! Enjoy "getting back out there."

judord 10-01-2011 11:03 AM
