I have made myself an assignment - try to write at least once a week. There are no rules, any subject will do but I do want to try to stick to quilting and sewing as much as possible.
Today I am in Scottsdale, AZ for a small trade show. I really don't have any time to visit any local shops on this trip but I have done so on prior visits to this area.
The Phoenix valley has an abundance of lovely stores serving a large population of quilters and sewers. I always make it a point to introduce myself as a visitor checking out the local fare. Most all shops are happy to hear that and are very welcoming. However, one shop will always stick out for being very rude and more or less asked me to hurry up and get out of their way. Maybe that's why there were no other customers in the store while I was there. The employee who checked me out tried her best to smooth over the owner's rudeness but that is something I will always remember about this store. The store itself was in a great location, large and roomy, had a great selection of fabrics and a killer class area. Hopefully they treat their regulars better than their potential regulars.
Enough negativity!! That one bad apple should not tarnish the other great stores and shop workers that I have met in AZ the past few years. I have to give a big shout-out to Quilter's Corner in Casa Grande, AZ. Fabulous fabric and a winning staff. Keep up the good work!
