The Quilted Shingle is CLOSING! January 7, 2008

It is with a heavy heart that I must announce that The Quilted Shingle is CLOSING!

Due to the time restrictions of caring for Charlie (suffered a stroke in October 2004) and our overly large house (caught in the housing market meltdown). I have been unable and quite frankly unwilling to make time for the shop. Charlie comes first!

Since Charlie and I were partners for the shop (as well as being married almost 30 years), when he fell ill I lost my enthusiasm and my heart for the shop. This is unfair to my loyal customers and my employees.

So the time has come (probably long overdue) to close the brick and mortar shop and move forward to the future. I have enjoyed this experience (mostly) and especially enjoyed meeting so many quilters!

At this time, the online shop will remain open.

Effective immediately, we will be selling our inventory, fixtures and samples.

Many of our samples will be photographed and uploaded to the online shop. All fixtures will be available for local pick-up only.

Thanks for the memories!
