Well hello there!  I know, I have kind of been MIA here on the blog and the Forums.  I am sorry I have been so bad.  My goodness has life gotten in the way lately! Our move went fine, *cough (awful) but we are in our new home and are slowly adjusting!  The hard part [...]

Wow, this year is already flying by.    This weekend has gone by like a whirlwind…we have so much going on.  All good stuff , and are super excited about the forums being back up.  If you haven’t stopped in for a while, go by and visit.  There is lots of chatter and projects pics [...]

I have recently joined a few of the mini quilt swaps that are going on around the internet. It has been really fun to make mini quilts. Its totally new to me as I have always made larger quilts, or table runners. But, mini quilts are so small that you can really be creative and [...]

For real!  Could this be any cuter?  Stripey-strip circles just might be my new favorite thing.   I know, I know.  I sound like an obnoxious adolescent that exclaims every song on the radio her favorite. (hey I can say that…I have one!)    I just get so excited about all the possibilities these pre-cuts [...]

So this is an AMAZING, fun and fast way to make a block, that has the look of a “string quilt” block or  an hourglass block.   The cool thing about this idea is that you are able to either make it very matchy-matchy or you have the freedom to make it very random and scrappy.  [...]

Am I the only one or has this summer week just flown by!?  I can hardly believe that it’s Thursday.  Which means ONE thing around here….that it’s almost Friday, which means Fabric Free For All, (in the forums) which means I have to get my act together.  Which is easier said than done, for me. [...]

I have been a fan of Vol.25 now for a while.  I love her artwork…I love that she combines art with words.  When she came out with this latest print, I knew I just had to have it!  So cute, and fits so perfectly in my life right now. Continually moving is what I am [...]

I am a beginner.  As in-I have NEVER quilted a thing in my life!   For real!  Mom taught all of us girls to sew growing up, and I hated it.  Could care less about it and literally hoped and prayed I wouldn’t EVER have to do it again!!!  Somehow, I got roped in to opening [...]

Thoughts for the week … Keep Going!! You know the little engine that could was a pretty smart little guy. Here’s my reasoning… (At least, it’s what I keep telling myself while running circles around the block) 1. If you will keep going during the exercise when you think you can’t and you keep going [...]

Hey everyone this is Hillary! And I’m resurrecting “Lose the Fat Quarter!” The Missouri Star Quilt Company girls were doing this in the shop once a week recently to help all us girls who like to sit and sew… get our tushies moving!! We got to work hard to lose weight and then one lucky [...]

We have had a wonderful day here at MSQC…..we started the morning off by having our Applique Class and our shop has been buzzing with activity ever since.  I am so impressed with all of the things/projects that are keeping you all busy this winter and love, love, LOVE to see them!  (So keep on [...]

WE are here!  This IS the exciting news I could hardly wait to tell you all!  This is our baby so to speak…..we have lots of fun things planned and lots more we will be adding to our inventory.  We are very excited about our Daily Deals….this will be the place to watch for the [...]
