I have bought my ticket, now to reserve a place to stay somewhere nearby. I am looking forward to this event in May.

Is anyone else going? I booked for the first two days as Rob Appell and Alison Glass are there for the first two days. I love Rob's energy in his Man Sewing Tutorials and Alison is such a talented designer I am looking forward to her presentation too.

While in the area I plan to visit Angela Walters' shop in Liberty.

I am getting excited. My trip will cover somewhat over 5000 miles, in 9 states and 4 provinces. Good thing I have an SUV with lots of room for purchases.

Sounds like a fun trip.

I love Rob!! Love his enthusiasm. Sounds like a fun trip for you!

Someday I'm hoping to actually retire and make a trip to MSQC for one of their retreats. It sounds like so much fun!

You will have to provide tons of photo's and tell us all about it.

If you haven't gotten room in Hamilton, check Cameron MO--just 10 miles away on major highway and know there are several decent hotels. Sounds like a great time! Good for you--by then you will be so decluttered you will need to purchase more fabrics!

QST,

I have booked a place to stay in Cameron. I am so looking forward to this trip. It is going to be a whole bunch of driving, (which I love to do) and seeing places for the first time. I am a coastal girl, but love my trips to the Canadian Prairies, I am sure I will love the northern states too.

I was looking over a map and realized how close I will be to the Mississippi. I will add day or two in Hannibal and a river boat ride to my travels. I even found a quilt shop Hickory Stick Quilt shop there.

I have been to Missouri Star Quilt Company three times you'll have a great time and there is two quilt shops in Hannibal like you said the one is Hickory Stick I cannot think of the name of the other one. There is also several in between Hannibal and Cameron. Google : Missouri Highway 36 Corridor quilt Trail there will be more information

I forgot to add a good restaurant to eat at in Cameron is called Dino's I have been there three times and the food has always been great.

Well I am sad that Rob Appell will not be at MSQC, but I am sure I will enjoy all the other presenters.

I leave in a week and am working through my packing list. I am taking other workshops after I leave MO, so I need to make sure I have everything I need for those too.
