Hooray, we have our Shop cleaned, flowerpots filled, new fabrics in the Shop, and new quilt samples displayed! The sun porch is opened & all decorated too.

WE ARE REOPENING!!!!!

MONDAY JUNE 1!

Based on Governor Pritzker’s reopening plan, and local governmental officials, we have now reached Phase 3 which will allow us to open our doors for business on June 1^st, 2020. We have discussed our responsibilities as a member of the business community as well as our concern for our customers, our employees, our families, and friends. We have established a protocol that we will follow, at least for the time being, as we learn and experience what our new normal will be.
We will adjust as we go!

HERE ARE THE BASIC GUIDELINES:

Entry - We will have hand sanitizer available in our shop for your use. It is placed just inside our door. Please use it as you enter and leave.
Also, at this time, there will be no public restrooms available.

Masks - Each customer will be asked to wear a mask to provide an additional measure of safety for all. Our staff will also be wearing masks.

Social Distancing – In accordance with the State guidelines a limit of 5 customers in the Shop at any one time. Generally, this will not be a problem but understand that you may be asked to wait if the Shop is full. We support and expect customers to maintain the recommended 6-foot distance from other customers and staff.

Curbside – We will continue our current curbside pickup process and/or shipment for those of you who are more comfortable with this. Orders can continue to be placed via phone call, email, etc., and will processed in a timely manner.

Classes - We will not restart our class schedules until July. We have worked at creating a properly social distanced arrangement of our classroom but are delaying start of classes as we settle into this new operating situation.

WE ARE EXCITED TO SEE EVERYONE AGAIN!!!

Please be smart, if your work or family situation puts you at high risk, or if you do not feel well, please do not enter our shop. We will be glad to continue our curbside service or mail your products to you.

We will keep you updated as we move forward. We will be “sew” happy and “sew” grateful to see everyone again.

For the month of June as we reopen, Shop hours will be

Monday thru Saturday will be 10am to 4pm

Quilter’s General Store was founded in 1997 and is located in a stately 1875 farm house. The 2500 square foot farm house is decorated in a traditional country style, utilizing many primitive and rustic items that add to the charm of the shop. QGS features approximately 2000 bolts of fabric which include a selection of civil war reproduction fabrics, batiks, and hand dyed wools.
On the second floor you will find our children’s room with baby
and juvenile fabrics, and many brights to blend with the children's fabrics.
We have a large classroom in our lower level for our full slate of classes and clubs. Many quilt and wool samples are displayed and kitted to inspire you. The entire staff at QGS is available to assist you in fabric selection or on your particular project.

Quilter’s General Store is truly a quilter’s destination for supplies, fabric, and inspiration.
We can’t wait to see all of you down on the farm!
