I usually try to stay away from any quilt shop with children running around like that plus the candy and cookies they had. Grand opening is fine but not all the time. I even wash my hands before looking at fabric or touching any of it. People in my guild don't wash their fabric; they say they want it crisp. I would hate to make a quilt and give as a gift and then wash it and the fabric run. Embarrrrsssssssiiinnnnngggggg!
Now that is one I didn't think about & the funny thing is that I stopped eating at the ice cream stations at buffets because of the kiddies with dirty fingers grabbing the goodies as they passed by. I smiled at them cause it was funny..mom never even looked at the kids but I decided to pass
