My daughter and I went to Hamilton to check out fabrics and shops!
This town's shops are mostly owned by Missouri Star Quilt Co, the Disneyland for quilters.
We spent two days going through their 19 shops, picking out fabrics, and chatting with very friendly folks.
My stash of items for future quilt projects.
There are even shops on the second floor of some of the shops.
I love the murals.
Besides the quilt shops, there is a Quilt Museum with pretty antique quilts and very old sewing machines, well worth the visit. Also worth visiting is the JC Penny Museum at the library. We learned a lot about Mr JC Penny and his misfortunes and fortunes.
The basement of the quilt museum has a huge room full of antique toy sewing machines. I did not see a Davis or a Two Spools sewing machines like mine in the museum.
The largest spool of thread is next to the Quilt Museum.
We did a day trip to explore wonderful Kansas City before heading home. Kansas City is fun city worth a visit to explore again!
