If I need a little of this or that, someone always offers to share. If these people can not afford to buy, I am confident someone would share from their stash. So sad that people feel the need to take what isn't theirs. Would serve them right that when they walk out the door to get in their car, they find it has been stolen!Teresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09077658139465236292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2800619367272794403.post-85544764840798850562011-05-09T20:23:32.219+09:302011-05-09T20:23:32.219+09:30Oh Leanne that is so awful, Lorraine has the best ...Oh Leanne that is so awful, Lorraine has the best shop and nicest range as well as being the nicest person....I don't get down there to often as I am about 45mins away but so love it when I do.

Even though I havent done much sewing lately(forgotton the last time that I threaded the needle) I still enjoy going to Hetties for a visit.

I haven't bought fabric on line but must admit I am becoming sorely tempted. The price of fabric for us ladies in Australia is ridiculous compared to what the girls pay in America. If we support our local quilt shop we are also reluctantly supporting a greedy middleman. I must confess to buying all my cross stitch supplies on line and also many quilting patterns.Just cant get the patterns or stitching stuff here in South Australia.

It's just horrible. My old quilt group actually disbanded because we had a bad egg who stole money from some members of the group on more than one occasion - the last being at our Christmas function - left a really sour taste I can tell you. We know who it was but what can you do? I can't see how people can look themselves in the mirror and think that it's okay. Hopefully karma will take care of them at some stage!Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16938362273285906901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2800619367272794403.post-22708629680126452962011-05-09T10:13:45.600+09:302011-05-09T10:13:45.600+09:30OOh I'd love to catch them, they wouldn't ...OOh I'd love to catch them, they wouldn't leave the shop without a black eye!

Really, really, real...Love, love, love the shoes. <br /><br />Really, really, really unimpressed with thieves. It's just a manifestation of selfishness. To thieves I say, "Get over yourself!" I like the talk about karma, but I wish that what is coming to these thieves would come quicker and hit harder!<br /><br />Hetties is such a lovely place. Quilt shops really are disappearing and it's no wonder when you realise that online fabric is cheaper than an Aussie shop pays for it. It seems that there is a bit of greed or selfishness involved in the middle man process too.Krishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02611233587655427186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2800619367272794403.post-77940102734032661382011-05-09T07:53:09.072+09:302011-05-09T07:53:09.072+09:30I am a firm believe in what goes around comes arou...I am a firm believe in what goes around comes around...

It's unbelievable what some people will do- they have no morals- but it seems to be happening more often. Our paper here in NZ had a story today about a man who left his i-pad in one of the rental cars he hired out and it was taken- it had a tracking programme loaded into it and he got an email 2 weeks later to say it had been connected to the internet in Melbourne- so he was able to ring the police there with exact details of the address and they were able to go and get it back for him!!!Lynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09813626390082216570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2800619367272794403.post-73230548993837201192011-05-08T19:05:33.195+09:302011-05-08T19:05:33.195+09:30Happy mother's day and happy birthday to Gemma...Happy mother's day and happy birthday to Gemma!<br />I don't know what people who are stealing like this are thinking, and I wonder if they feel any joy in using what they stole...<br />My friend who also has her own quiltshop, has experienced theft as well, people stealing her models made from her own patterns.May Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02442680975931093944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2800619367272794403.post-42123422056069798692011-05-08T18:23:36.637+09:302011-05-08T18:23:36.637+09:30Just yesterday while I was in ballarat patchwork E...Just yesterday while I was in ballarat patchwork Emma realised one of her samples had been stolen !
