The best thing about working full time in a quilt store is the friends you make. We have a team of four now (Five and six if we count a couple of our kids who would prefer not to be named) that have spent the past few years celebrating each other’s wins or holding each other up when things are getting rough. We said goodbye to our parents with each other, we have celebrated when new babies entered our families! They are a strong foundation for the store, and we truly could not do this without them. They help us hurry up and get samples done, set up quilt shows, fold and assemble patterns. You name it, they have done it. More importantly, they help us keep business concerns in perspective. We would not be where we are without them, and we know it! So today we are raising our glass (ok, it’s a strong cup of coffee) to that group of quilters we have nick named the Quilting Aunties.
