Quilt Mecca of the Midwest!

1/11/2017

This November I was able to visit the Mecca of all quilting stores , at least in the Midwest. The Missouri Star Quilt Company is based out of Hamilton, Missouri. I didn't realize how close I was to this luscious quilt store until recently. So I planned a day trip and I couldn't have been more thrilled. I discovered MSQ through the many youtube video tutorials they do, in fact they have an app you can now download with all their tutorials right at your fingertips ( it's awesome). Now I love quilts and fabrics and designs of all sorts and my next favorite things are all things rustic and old anything that tells a story. Old historic buildings (especially old barns) are my favorite!!! So upon my discovery of MSQ I was even more delighted see that they have revamped most of the older buildings in 'downtown' Hamilton, MO. I love it when something old is brought back to life. And not only do you get to experience one shop, you get to experience 12!!!! Yup they all have a different theme of fabric. You have the main store but then it branches out from there to florals, vintage, kids, holiday, solids, etc!!! They even have a man cave just for those husbands that's get dragged along but don't want to shop for fabric till they drop. This is seriously and awesome store. You also earn MSQ points while you shop and each little store. So many points will translate back to cash in your pocket! They also have super cute little charms you can earn at each store depending on what you spend. Fabric, jewelry, rewards?! What didn't they think of? I felt like all my dreams of owning a store one day had been pulled from my head and was what I was seeing right before my eyes. So fun and if you are ever close to Hamilton, MO it is so worth the stop. Can't make it in ? They have an awesome online store too and catalog!! It's pretty awesome and the coolest thing about it all is it all started with one quilting machine, and a woman who loved to get together with friends and do crafts and sew. My kind of story😀. So check out the Missouri Star Quilt Company you won't be disappointed.

I am glad you had the chance to shop in Mecca. I love shopping. Everytime I'm stressed, my favorite stress reliever is retail-therapy. It is very relaxing for me. I get the chance to satisfy my retail needs.

My mother and I just returned from Hamilton, MO where we attended a quilting retreat offered by the Missouri Star Quilt Company. The staff of all the quilt shops in that little town were simply amazing! They made us feel like we were part of one big happy family! It was so much fun to shop in all the different quilt shops in that little town! The people truly made us feel welcome, and appreciated! The girls running the Batik shop were especially delightful, and even addressed us by our names on the second time we went into the shop. If you are ever in Hamilton, MO, be sure to go shopping at the quilt shops. There are 10+ and more on the way! The owners of the MSQC have put Hamilton, MO-the birthplace of JC Penney, back on the map! The next time I go there, I am taking my husband with me, just so he can go sit in the Man Cave and watch TV while I shop! The only down-side to the visit was the lack of wheelchair access to the sidewalks. The sidewalks were very tall, and you had to climb several steps to access the shops or go all the way down to one end of the town. Where the sidewalks were lower. There should be access to each sidewalk at both ends for those that are handicapped or wheelchair bound.
