Now that is the type of job I could do. Or need to do. I like that idea.

It is nice to know someone else who has a "dream job". Do you still have time to quilt for yourself with all you are doing?

Oh, Nellie--I think you are going to have a LONG wait. I do not see myself getting tired of this job any time soon. But, I will definitely recommend you as my replacement if I ever quit. :lol:

Well, you all get the picture, That fabric would be gone each month and sefish me wouldn'd need to worry about sharing the fabric, but I would give my quilts away when I finished. Isn't that why we quilt?

If I had enough time that I COULD make 2 queen size quilts a month I would be in Heaven---but life has a way of taking over and if I make ONE quilt a month I consider myself doing well. So, I will just have to share my fortune with my daughters. And believe me, they are already drooling!!!

What a great job, no stress, nice folks and fabric to touch. Who could ask for more. My daughter worked for Hancock Fabrics years ago and she made a
lot of clothes for display in the store and then got to keep them.

What a great t-shirt, perfect! Hope you get it in time!

You will have the dream job!
