History

Established in 1995.

We started our shop on a bus! We converted a shuttle bus to a mobile quilt shop and toured the country giving classes and lectures at quilt shows, individual guilds, museums, historical societies — any organization that was willing to host us. It became too difficult to operate both the bus and the shop, though, so now we just concentrate on making our shop and the website the best we possibly can. Our original website (HickoryHillQuilts) is actually the oldest quilt shop domain registered that is still in business.
