*****************

HOLIDAY CLOSURE

Please note that QGS will be closed for the Christmas Holiday,

December 24 through January 1, returning to regular hours Thursday January 2.

*****************

Quilter’s General Store would like to thank everyone that has supported our small and locally owned quilt shop. Small businesses are the ones that support schools, local charitable organizations, and various fund raising and special events in our community. Sometimes it may cost a few extra $$$ to shop locally, but it is a much better investment to support local and keep the $$$ in our community. Thank you to all that have supported our local quilt shop and all small businesses.

Happy Holidays!

Quilter’s General Store & our Amazing Staff!
