Yesterday we spent a good part of the day in Hamilton, Missouri. This little town, population 1,800, was formerly known for being the childhood home of J. C. Penney and the location of an old Penney’s store. Now it is a different place.
A dozen years ago, Jenny Doan and her son and daughter started Missouri Stat Quilt Company. Today the company owns fifteen renovated buildings that make up most of the Main Street in Hamilton selling fabric, sewing machines, yarn and other quilting sundries.
Trish and I spent most of yesterday morning here selecting fabric for real and potential quilting projects. This is something she does well and I do with love. We had a wonderful time together.
Luckily for us, if you bought a certain amount of fabric, you got free shipping. We easily exceeded that certain amoung and are now looking forward to a large box when we get home. What fun!
