There is a local quilt shop that I occasionally visit. The bolts are mostly messy. They are never busy. Usually the clerk is sewing on her own things. I have worked in fabric/quilt shops for a total of 18 plus years. Every time I go in there I tell myself, "You are not going to straighten fabric, you don't work here". I have a horrible time controlling myself and usually end up straightening some of them. Yes, it matters to me how a shop looks. I want good lighting, neat and some samples. I took my granddaughter to one shop when she was young...she said, "I think there is someone dead in the back." She should know, her mother is a funeral director and has been in and around a funeral home all of her life. lol I really don't like that shop either...something about the atmosphere. Unless there is something I am really looking for and can't find, I don't go there.
