The Jill Finley Quilt Trunk Show

Jill has been designing quilt patterns for over 15 years. Her creative spirit and affinity for working with fabrics result in a fresh take on traditional quilt making. In 2007, Jill launched her design business, Jillily Studio, where she designs and sells quilt patterns, kits and notions. Her designs have been featured in several magazines including American Patchwork and Quilting, Quilt, and Quilter’s Home.

While Jill stays busy filling orders for patterns, notions and kits, she still makes time for new designs. Creating fabric designs for Henry Glass and Company has been one of her favorite projects. She is working on her fifth line, and is so happy to see its success so far. “It is great to see my designs actually become fabric. I love what I do! It is a joy to be able to create new designs and have others enjoy them too.”

HMQS is pleased to host this quilt trunk show by Jill Finley. A lighthearted presentation includes stories of how the quilts were made, and what inspired them. You will also get to hear about Jill’s mistakes and how she fixed them! Hear the story of Jill’s family quilt retreat and see some of the quilts they have done together, including Round Robbin quilts. You won’t want to miss this fun and informative trunk show!
