Missouri Star Quilt co
DD and I visited MSQC yesterday. I have always been impressed with her videos and came away from
Hamilton, Mo very impressed. It is wonderful to see what a quilter's hobby has done for a sleepy little town. They have 4 stores , the original, Penny's quilts (which is all solids) Seasonal store, and another store just open which has civil war fabrics. There is also a retreat center and mercantile building for shipping and receiving. We arrived on a day that they were having a lunch for all employees (100+) so all stores were closed from 12-1 but there is a sandwich shop and bakery where many quilters were hanging out! It is worth the trip if you get close by! |
i didn't realize it was such a huge 'complex'. glad you got to go.

What fun! Wish I was closer.

My SIL lives in St Joseph, Missouri so I'm hoping to make a combination trip soon! Sounds like a fun place
|
Very cool. One of these summers, we will do a road trip to explore various sites - quilting for me, civil rights for DH, and hockey for Gus. Could be a wide-ranging trip.
Cheers, K |
We're DH and I are making a trip to Missouri in August to visit some friends of his. Hamilton is supposedly about an hour away. Told DH I wanted to go while we were there or on our way to see his friends. He stated they already had plans for us. Back up the truck!. If I have to leave a day early so be it. I will rent a car if I have to. I plan on spending a day and some money and meeting Jenny or even one of the family.

What fun! I can drive there in about five hours so MSQC is definitely on my weekend trip list. I do weekend trips just for me a lot so I'll have my memories of going when I'm stuck at home being elderly.
|
Haha, OnebyOne, that's what we do too! Make memories for when we're too old to drive very far

I have been there three times. Each time it gets better and better and more and more. The stores are jam-packed with wonderful fabrics. There are some stores I can enter and leave with money intact. I haven't been able to do that so far with this one. They really go through the fabric judging by the carts at the end of the cutting tables.
