You wouldn't think that would happen because most quilters are wonderful person, but there are some bad apples out there. These things happen all over the place, it's not right, it's certainly very sad too.

I spent a lot of money on a basket of fresh flowers for on my Dad's grave before Memorial Day, went there twice a week to water and take care of them. Over July Fourth weekend, someone stole the whole thing, pot and all. It's not like it was just sitting there, it was in an expensive raised stand approved by the cemetery association.

Now this! I just don't get it! While I would kill (not literally) for that fabric (my new fav), stealing it is just sad, but something I would expect to see here in Los Angeles.

There is no excuse for taking what is not yours. <br />Too often people try to excuse or deflect their bad behaviour when really we all need to hold ourselves and others accountable.<br />Quilters really are the best of people, but they are people which means there are some who are not as good as they good be. <br />I've also been noticing how comfortable people are becoming with stealing and justifying it. Looking at patterns, and then making it after "figuring it out" or blatantly opening it up and reading the instructions/cutting or whatever and putting it back.<br />They think this is somehow ok.

If I knew there was that much of a need I think I would rather give them the fabric then have them live with the daily guilt. But, maybe I'm just naive, too, to think that they would even feel an ounce of guilt for what they did. I know one of my LQS finally had to install cameras because they were having such a problem with people stealing things.Kim Walushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07867301434590115299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1637590958508818905.post-69847904033343565412011-07-22T14:24:45.705-06:002011-07-22T14:24:45.705-06:00That is so sad.

I worked in a fabric shop when I was in high school, and we never even took people's ID for checks...because no checks were ever bounced at our shop--I remember my manager saying that people who sew would never steal. Well lately, I've heard differently...a shop owner friend mentioned complete bolts being stripped--someone must have stuffed the yardage into a large purse and then left.

I grow most everything from seed, and plant all the baskets myself. The first week of the market this year, someone stole one of my hanging baskets! It was really disappointing, especially since there was nothing I could do about it. It's really too bad that people think they have to resort to theft. I'm sorry your fabric was stolen. I hope you were able to have a good time despite the downfall.mean sarah jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18257779691198783544noreply@blogger.com
