Margaret Hall

Meet Margaret Hall. Margaret is a co-owner of River Place Mercantile. She has been sewing since she was nine. Her mother sewed everything Margaret and her seven siblings wore. “In eighth grade, my mom made me a fake leather mini skirt, sheer blouse, and matching Go Go boots. I was really cool." Along with her mom’s guidance, Margaret also found instruction in the 4-H club. There, she learned to knit and make leather crafts. Five years ago, Margaret got into quilting. Her favorite pieces are quilts that essentially came from 48 cross-stitched squares her grandmother made in 1975. Margaret’s mother gave them to her, but Margaret didn’t feel it was right keeping them all to herself. Thus the work began, and when it was said and done, Margaret presented each of her seven brothers and sisters with a quilt to remind them of their grandmother. Margaret Hall is also the co-owner of Pieces of My Heart with Betty Fryer.  Come on in to River Place Mercantile to see what family heirloom this talented woman can help you complete!
