Inspire. Empower. Create.
Look out Dallas, the MSQC ladies are here! 😀
We’ve safely arrived, we ended up getting less sleep than expected, but we should have expected that! Here we are heading to our first full day. (Sorry it’s such a bad picture, I can only blog photos from my phone, so they’ll be a bit blurry, but at least you can still enjoy the festivities with us!)
This is an excerpt from the MSQC’s Shipping page and I thought it may be of interest to you readers, I’ll post it over on facebook as well, but finally, some decent shipping for the rest of the world! We appreciate all the support from beyond our borders, we couldn’t do it without you! 😀 –
The Missouri Star Quilt Company is pleased to announce new and improved shipping rates for ALL our valued customers (I’m looking at you Canadians and International clients!). Don’t worry U.S customers, we’re leaving the $5 flat shipping alone, and we’re even adding in some brand new stuff for you too! So without further adieu, here they are:
$5 flat shipping on all orders up to $99.99 (you liked this, we listened, we kept it)
FREE shipping on all orders over $100! (this is one of the best shipping rates going, period)
$15 flat shipping on all orders up to $149.99 (to help keep costs down for our northern friends)
FREE shipping on all orders $150 and over! (Oh Canada, we stand on guard for thee!)

Pretty awesome we think!! Let the quilting spread, tell your friends cause we’re excited! Seriously, if you’re in Australia, Sweden, or Scotland, get some friends together, put in a big order, shipping is FREE, can you beat it? I submit that you cannot! 🙂
In other news, we’ll be at the International Quilt Market sometime in the morning, it’s been a long day of slim jims from gas stations and girl time, but I’m loving it! Can’t wait to get down there and see all the quilting rock stars! I’ll be reporting soon 🙂
Is this year flying by, or what!?!? I am still not over the fact that school is back in session…..summer went by in a flash. But fall inevitably leads to winter. (oh-my, not ready for that for sure!) I do LOVE the seasons, however and I have decided to embrace fall.
We are gearing up for Market this weekend (holla if you’re going to be there!), and I can NOT wait to see all the new stuff! It is going to be amazing and fun…..and I plan on keeping you all in the ‘know’ this year!
Us girls are road tripping there. We are gonna have a crazy-wild time. Our ride there is going to be insane! We are leaving after we give a presentation to a Guild in Kansas City…..we will drive straight there, hopefully getting to Houston by 3 am. Then Friday we have classes lined up from 10am-8pm then sample spree from 8pm- 10 pm!
Whew, if you didn’t think (know) we were crazy before, I am pretty sure this sums it up perfectly! 🙂 BUT, after the crazy days that are Thursday and Friday, we should have plenty of time to meet everyone, see everything and even attend a few parties!
Have I mentioned how extremely excited I am to go!? Seriously ALL the people….all the designers…all the FABRIC….Oh, MAN.
Just so you know….we will be blogging and tweeting (that’s right, we’re on Twitter now, follow us!) about everything. You want answers to what ‘they’ are wearing, doing, selling!?!?!? We will try to answer those questions and ANY others you might have! Ask away.
Seriously…..what have you always wanted to know about Market? About any designer, manufacturer, etc ….I will seriously be your “Geraldo Rivera” of Market. ( Minus that hair. I am not afraid to ask the tough questions.) 🙂
Bring it on! Ask away….and I will LET you know.
*******UPDATE*******
This is the Young Single Good Looking Computer Guy (YSGLCG) here, and I thought you may have trouble recognizing Sarah at Quilt Market if she’s in her Geraldo Rivera mode, so I ran some calculations and came up with her approximate look she should have while there so you all can find her. Remember, this woman is a master of disguises, and this is approximate, so use your own judgement, but this should help.
Yes, Yes…we had two winners! We had such a fun time hosting the JC Penney Days Quilt Show. (yes, we live in Mr. JC Penney’s hometown) Pretty exciting! 🙂 The turn out was great, and it was a wonderful variety of new quilts and old quilts.
This is our 1st prize winner, Velva from Hamilton. She does amazing appliqué work and we were wowed by the quilts she brought. This was her first time ever entering a quilt. She actually took first and second place.
And here is Miss Maxine, from Polo with her swirly log cabin finished! She got 3rd place! (I showed this one a few weeks back, from our Friday night sew-show and tell) I love how she finished it with those borders and the scallop edge! Cute! (she used the RJR twice the charm)
Thanks to all the ladies that participated. We sure enjoy seeing all that you create….each one of the quilts (and projects) you make are wonderful!
On the machine today was a custom ordered quilt ALL the way from Sweden. Crazy-cool, huh!? We are thrilled to have the opportunity to make them something special, that fits exactly what they want.
Jenny does amazing work and put this together beautifully. She used the fabric from the Morris Workshop, by Moda. Then machine quilted it using the Feather Meander pattern.
This is a look-see at it right off the machine and trimmed. Only thing left is the binding. Isn’t she a beauty?! We can hardly wait to ship her off to Sweden! Seriously….How COOL is that!?!??!
DO you think they’d notice if I packed myself? Come to think of it….Maybe this quilt should be hand delivered? Hmmm, I think that’s a great idea! 🙂 [i wish!]
