How are you planning to come? There are some wonderful shops along highway 36 starting in Hannibal (just off to the south of the Mississippi bridge on Front (or First) street called the Hickory Stick and it is FABULOUS as are the people who work there. Then there is a great little fabric section in Macon at the Ben Franklin Store, a great store in Brookfield, and then on to Hamilton and Crossroads. The Amish quilt shop is quite nice and the prices are reasonable. If we knew your route, we could probably tempt you some more! Have fun. MSQC is great and the people there are very kind and knowledgeable and helpful.
