Quilt store closes but another business coming

An iconic Marion quilt shop closed its doors Saturday after 12½ years so its owners could retire.

Sew What Quilt Shop owners Jan Meisinger, Paula Perry, and Carol Riggs of Hillsboro started their business at 162 W. Main St. in a building shared with Down on the Corner and Hair Corner.

Later Sew What moved to 329 E. Main St.

The building won’t be vacant long. Another business, to be operated by Lori and Chuck McLinden, will open in the near future, Meisinger said.

The McLindens could not be reached for comment.
