I have had so many great emails lately from you quilters, showing off your quilts! You all have been busy!
First up, is this adorable quilt made by Laurette using Little Apples fabric!! Adorable!
Next up is this super cute one from Suzanne! She followed a tutorial and made it her own!! (love that!) Aren’t those little sail boats adorable???
Next is a dress from one of our local customers, Susan. She came into the shop on Saturday to show off this adorable dress she is making for her granddaughter!! (you might have seen me post it on facebook) Seriously, isn’t it just darling!? She used HomeTown fabric, by Sweetwater and a flower from basic grey! (the Pattern number is 6309, Wrights, NEWLOOK, Kids, Bin 103, The pattern includes, a no sleeves, short sleeves, and long, and also a pattern for a matching coat to go with the dress) Susan did such a great job, lining the whole thing. It’s just beautiful! And we can all agree that dresses aren’t the easiest thing to make! LOL, I will stick with quilts! 🙂
Robin sent me this super cute quilt she made out of Fiona’s Fancy, by Lila Tueller. Love it! She used the double slice tutorial, and I think it turned out great!! She said that when she makes baby quilts she likes to be sure it’s not too ‘baby-ish’ so it will grow along with them! It is almost a twin size, so they will be able to use that quilt for a very long time!! What a great idea!!
Last, but certainly NOT least is this quilt, that Barbara made. She said she made it in two days, using the ‘Stack and Whack‘ tutorial. This one is a real stunner. I love that it is only two fabrics and makes such a statement!
Thank you all, so much for taking the time to email your photos of the quilts you made! It sure means a lot to us. We love to see what you are making and hear your stories of quilting success!!
Have a great day!!

Oh man, there were so many fun and entertaining Valentines stories!! You all certainly kept me entertained this week! I was laughing out loud at some and sad at others, while a few were just heart-melting! Ahh, love. Isn’t it just grand?
On to the Winners!!! For the layer cake:
With Valentines just around the corner, I thought we should giveaway some beautiful Valentine’s fabric! As some of you know, we are giving a layer cake away on Facebook and I thought, heck, why don’t we offer something even better right here on the blog! SO … I am going to giveaway a layer cake AND a jelly roll from the same cute Happy Hearts line by Adornit!
So, just like on Facebook, to enter all you have to do is leave a comment and tell us about your most special or worst Valentines Day. I’m sure enjoying reading all the Facebook comments and can relate to so many – I can’t wait to see what you guys have to say!
Anyway, things here at MSQC are crazier than ever. LIFE. Whew, it can sure be exhausting! I just want to tell you all how incredibly grateful we are for you and your continued support. You might have noticed that our site’s been having issues. Although most are not affected by these issues, some have had a really tough time browsing our site and even checking out. Since we are a family business, working hard to grow and offer you more and more, we don’t exactly have extensive IT Department. In fact, our IT department consists of little brother Al (he’s still little to me, even though he’s 6.7″). Really, he is a one man show on the tech side of our business. He has had many sleepless nights, and we love him for that. After we switched servers to make things better, we had some lost code issues, the fix for which has been like finding a needle in a hay stack – fun stuff (I hope you sense my extreme sarcasm)! We hope that things will be running flawlessly soon and that you will all have a wonderful experience browsing our site. Despite the problems, for the most part, things are much better, faster and we can handle more traffic. Please rest assured that we are working diligently to get all the ‘bugs’ worked out. Our intentions are only to have a better site that will offer you all more.
Most of you have been amazingly patient! And we thank you for that. If you do have an issue please, oh please email us info@missouriquiltco.com or give us a call. We want to help you in any way that we can. If you must leave a message we will call you back! 888 571 1122
Back to the giveaway, please do tell us about your funny-awesome-horrific Valentines experiences! I can’t wait to read them all! I’ll pick two winners via random.org on Wednesday night and announce it Thursday!
Happy Valentine’s Day, Sarah and family!!!
