    Jim's Gem asked how that could happen....

    that is also called Customer Service....er...
    Customer Self-service. You have heard that people steal?
    They go in stores and cut off pieces of fabric and put them in their purses. As far back as the late 80's my daughter worked at Hancock and this sort of thing was happening then. I can imagine more of it is happening today. If these stores are open to the public, anything can happen.

    This would be a wonderful world if all people were honest.

    Oh no. That's awful.

    When I buy fabric [which I just did today] I like to look at it - even though I know what it is - then wash it right away, so it's ready to use.

    PC, that 'working stiff' quilt inspector in your picture is obviously hard at work!!!! I love it! (speaking as one who has 7 quilt wanna be 'quilt inspectors' who are not allowed in the sewing room due to their various behavior issues. They belong to "Quilt Shredders, Pilferers and Chewers Anonymous" the QSPCA!!!
