The towns people and MSQC employees all wound the thread on the spool. How fun and what great ideas coming from MSQC for the town.
I was there for the unveiling of the spool and took a turn putting some thread on it. It is quite a sight. The building was actually purchased by another family in town. It is supposed to open as the Missouri State Quilt Museum in 2019. The spool is actually 22ft high and was Sponsored by Aurifil.
Hamilton Missouri is a great place for quilters. The stores are awesome. I hope to get back there someday!
