Yesterday was my first shift at the quilt shop. My first task was to help a customer pick out fabrics to go with some she already had, and the rest of the afternoon I got to cut, ring up customers, organize the batiks, cut FQs to fill in the empty baskets. Fun stuff! I got to "pet" so much fabric yesterday that I wasn't tempted to buy anything. I'll be working every Thursday evening and one or two Sundays a month. Fun times!
I also work at a small quilt shop. I'll be interested to see how you like it. I love it but it is a lot of work for us. It's just the owner and myself and she has another part-time job so often, it's just me. We do a lot of regional shows and our Shop Hop starts next week. Are we entirely prepared? NO!
ReplyDeleteHow fun! It's been a long time since I helped out in our LQS. I miss it...I actually found when I was cutting fabric that even though I knew her stock pretty well, somebody would always bring up something I didn't remember seeing...and of course, I thought I had to have some of it. LOL.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it fun to help pick out fabric? Plus you get to see other people's projects. My downfall is the new fabric - I always want something - so I try and wait a few times to see if I still like it and then I get it.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great day!
ReplyDeleteI love the picking out of fabric for customers. It feels like shopping without having to spend a dime! :-)
ReplyDeleteWish I could be there too! Wouldn't we have fun?
