Am I the only quilter here who's looked at that commercial and wondered if its a real quilt shop and if its anywhere nearby?

H & R Block was unfare to me when I took their classes and worked ther for a season. it was a Click and they were afraid I might be as good as some of them. I would not step foot in there either. I have been doing taxes for years- myself.

When my husband was in Iraq and I was in Ft. Campbell I went to H&R Block to have our taxes done (they were in a military town I figured they would know how to deal with military taxes). Not only was I there for FIVE HOURS with a toddler and a baby but they didn't know a damn thing that they were doing and I ended up walking out before they were done, driving 330 miles back home(non military town) to get them done with "our" accountant. Took about 30 minutes and we got back double what H&R block said we would get. I'll spend the extra money to have an accountant do my taxes.

I worked at H&R Block last tax season and the tax preparers who knew what they were doing were awesome (about 7). Some of the others, who had been working there for 5-7+ years, didn't know the first thing about taxes, which was pretty scary.

The accuracy of any tax return depends entirely upon the individual preparing the return, NOT where they work.

Yes, that quilt shop is in Greenback, TN which is between Maryville and Madisonville. I've been to the shop a few times and they have excellent prices on top quality merchandize. It's not a very big shop, but very friendly and a pleasure to shop there. And I saw her interview on the local NBC station, too. She is a really nice lady doing her best to keep prices down for her fellow quilters.
