š It is with deep sadness that we share that Jill, the heart and hands behind Joining Jill, passed away on Tuesday, September 9th, after a courageous fight with an aggressive form of multiple myeloma. She was just shy of a year into this battle and dreaded closing her shop even temporarily to undergo treatment.
For so many of you, Jillās creations werenāt just items in a packageāthey were stitched with love, comfort, and care. Through her cozies, travel items, and countless handmade treasures, she managed to send warmth to all 50 states and Canada in under 4 years. Your support allowed her passion for crafting and caring to spread further than she ever dreamed, and for that, our family is endlessly grateful.
One of Jillās favorite parts of this journey was the genuine shock and delight she felt every single time her phone rang out with a little ācha-ching.ā Each order meant the world to her. She loved seeing pictures and videos of how you used her creations, and she cherished your thoughtful reviewsāit brought her so much joy to know her work found a home where it was loved and appreciated.
We are still figuring out what to do with her existing inventory and will share updates when we are ready. In the meantime, we would love to hear from you. If you own something made by Jill, please share a story, photo, or memory of how your order made you smile, brought comfort, or bettered your life. Seeing the impact of her work is one of the greatest ways we can keep her memory alive.
As Jill would sayākeep on living that quilted, cozy lifestyle and spreading care for others. š§µā¤ļø
If you would like to honor Jill further, donations can be made in her name to help advance research on this rare cancer through the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation: themmrf.org.
Thank you for being part of Jillās story, and for helping her legacy of comfort and care continue. And as always, thank you for Joining Jill!
Love,
Jillās Family
