    What sad news!  See below for a message from Hilly's.

    Dear quilters,

    It is with a heavy heart that we must announce Hilly’s Quilts will be closing the retail side of business.   The current plan is to re-open after New Years, with long arming services and a new Sewing Room that will be available for rental by appointment.  We would like to thank all the loyal customers that have become good friends and/or family over the past 25 years.  Sadly, we must empty out the entire store no later than December 31, 2023.  All inventory and fixtures will need to be gone.

    Starting December 1, 2023, the below, will be available and priced as marked:

    • Fixtures
    • Quilt samples
    • Decorations/decor
    • As well as other business-related items and many other odds and ends

    So, if there are any quilt samples, decorations or fixtures you have admired over the years, now is the time to get them.

    If you have quilts that you plan to give for Christmas presents this year that need long-arming, the deadline is approaching. Please get your quilts in by Monday, November 27.

    While we are no longer issuing gift cards, if you have any Hilly’s Quilts gift cards they will be honored until the shop closes.

    Discount days such as Senior Thursday and Quilt Back Tuesday have been discountinued.

     Once again, we would like to thank everyone for their support and loyalty over the years.  We will keep you updated as we move forward.

     Let’s all keep stitching,

    Hilly’s Quilts

    Judith and TarynJudith Seibold, a long time member of GQCCC, passed away on June 2.

    She was a generous woman and loved sewing and crocheting. She loved her guild friends and especially the Zoom groups during the pandemic.  She made many, many quilts for her large family and many friends. Every scrap of fabric became a quilt. She was a woman of faith and described her life as “charmed and blessed” ~ Tammy Zanella

    Judith used to comment to me personally how I always made her laugh. I think about the song don't shed a tear for me, my life won't end without you. Judith was generous of self, had stern principles and adored by all ~ Nancy Van Meter

    Thank you, Judith, for your love and caring devotion to your quilting. Bless your family in their loss ~ Pat Abernathy

    I remember sitting with Judith at a GQCCC meeting and she wanted to see pictures of the quilts I have made. So I showed her on my phone and we ended up looking at all of them. She was a wonderful spirit and I will miss her ~ Monica Kaseman
