I had a fabulous experience at Cloth Carousel on Monday. I walked in for the first time to pick up a gift certificate for my mother in law, and I was transported into a quilting world. There was a section for people to work on their projects, and the other half of the store was full of tools, fabrics, and more.

When I explained my situation again and asked if I might be able to reschedule, I was dismissed and told they could not help me. This was a very frustrating and disheartening experience especially as we are grieving the loss of my husband’s father figure. I’m very disappointed and frustrated with...
