We have had a great beginning to the All Missouri State Shop Hop. We have had many different travelers coming in this first week. At the same time new fabrics and displays have gone up.
Most important—this is a holiday weekend. We are closed Monday, September 7th to celebrate Labor Day. Enjoy everyone!
We did have many visitors this week. Our highlight was Mike Fortner. He’s been a longarmer for 3 years. His girls (wife and daughter) told him he needed to sew his quilts for himself. When asked if he had done that yet, out came his first quilt. His picture below shows him holding his Bargello United States quilt. Each fabric represents a state. You can see how small these pieces are. Missouri’s fabric is located in/near Maine. It’s quite an accomplishment!
