Missouri Star Quilt Co, Part 3

It's hard to blog about our visit to Missouri Star Quilt Co. in Hamilton, Missouri -- because THERE IS SO MUCH GOING ON THERE, and we had such a great time...it's hard to know where to start, much less stop...

They seemed to have five or six different totebags -- this one was mine.

It is a photo of a famous quilt...(I can't remember the name)

Gail (a friend of mine from the YMCA) and her bestie Lisa were also on our bus!!  SEE THOSE SMILES? That's the look on every face of every quilter who lands in Hamilton, Missouri...

The best picture of the back of my jacket. So good, right? (thanks, Deb, for the embroidery!)

The decor of each store is unique, and very inspirational...every room is like a work of art.

They even went to the time and trouble to make a plain set of stairs SOMETHING EXTRAORDINARY.

And, there is an underlying sense of humor everywhere you look.

There's no way you could absorb all the beautiful quilts, hanging on ever wall, displayed in every shop...WHO'S DOING ALL THIS SEWING?? Really. It's like an amazing rotating quilt show that is happening 365 days a year...

Hamilton, Missouri is also the birthplace of J.C. Penney. And this store used to be the J.C. Penney store.

Hummm...Lisa and Gail seem like good prospects for the TMBC Fun Train...???
