September 21, 2015 MISSOURI STAR QUILT COMPANY

We are still at Wallace State Park - love it here BTW - and today we went into Hamilton, Missouri and the Missouri Star Quilt Company.   MSQC has helped keep this little town of Hamilton alive.  They now have 9 separate store fronts they operate on the main drag and are opening two others soon, all related to quilting and fabric!   Hamilton looks like so many other small towns we've seen.

I learned to quilt watching their YouTube videos.   The matriarch of the clan, Jenny Doan, is a wonderful teacher.   You can't believe all the out of state license plates we saw as we drove up.   They have a very dedicated and loyal fan base.    They do a huge online business and only charge $5.00 to ship.   They also have a "Daily Deal" which is a deeply discounted bundle of fabric or a tool or sometimes free shipping.   They have a loyalty program, quilters points, and you can redeem these to pay for merchandise.    If you quilt (or want to quilt) you should check them out online or YouTube.  

So I spent a little cash and cashed in a few of my quilters points and and I was on fabric overload!   There is just so much to look at.  
But we didn't stay long, I got what I wanted, and we visited each of their shops and were back on the road in just a few hours.  

Tomorrow is a travel day!  

Just for you Maureen!
