Went to school for Business and Interior Design...when I graduated from college, I worked in a furniture store for 2 months and hated it and quit.
Since then I have mostly worked retail...managed a craft department in a store, managed a basket/wicker furniture, and stretched fabric store with stitching and trapunto done on the fabrics....worked in a needlework store, then in a quilt store, then bought a quilt store, then had 2 kids, moved, and opened another quilt shop with a partner...all fun jobs...but also a lot of work.
Then my husband passed away and I had to get a "real" job...and for 6 years have worked in healthcare/related jobs...first in the cafeteria at hospital, then on surgical services floor as administrative assistant, and now as patient service representative at large clinic.
