Movies In The Park!

We are thrilled to be part of some free family fun here in Hamilton this summer! Join us each month for a featured flick, shown on a giant screen under a big starry sky! Look for the great big screen just across the street from the main shop.

Poppy’s Bakery and J’s Burger Dive are working up some treats and specials just for movie night. Yummo!

Be there or be square!

Hamilton Visitor’s Guide: Sew Seasonal Shop

Sew Seasonal is our fabric store dedicated to all ranges of seasonal fabrics! Located across the street from the retreat center (just a few doors down from the main shop), this shop has everything you need for a holiday project… and then some! Ready to begin your tour?

Stop in at Sew Seasonal and you’re likely to find Becky working among the spirited bolts. (Hello, Becky!)

You’ll find a full range of Christmas and winter fabrics in styles to suit any taste…

Patriotic fabrics…

Sweet and lovely Valentine fabrics…

And Halloween and fall fabrics, too. Boo!

This shop is located in a building that at one time was a jewelry store and the original ceilings and double front display window serve as reminders of the shop’s heritage. We truly love these old buildings!

Sew Seasonal shop hours are 9am-5pm Monday-Saturday, just like the main Missouri Star shop. We’d sure love to see you soon! If you have a visit to Hamilton planned, be sure to check out the rest of our Visitor’s Guide series!

In the meantime while we’re waiting for your arrival, tell us…. which seasonal fabric area would you gravitate toward first?

Hamilton Visitor’s Guide: Poppy’s Bakery

Visiting Hamilton, Missouri and Missouri Star Quilt Company any time soon? Then you’ll want to watch for our weekly Hamilton Visitor’s Guide posts here on The Cutting Table blog! We’ll show you options for fabric, dining, fabric, gift stores, fabric, places to keep your significant other occupied and, of course, fabric.

Today, we’re stopping in to visit with Poppy Dockray, who operates Poppy’s Bakery, located just two doors from the main MSQC shop. Store hours are Monday- Saturday, 6:30am- 5pm.

The menu at Poppy’s features a fantastic variety!

Lunch options like wraps and this tasty salad…

a selection of milk, juice, sodas, water, tea and coffee…

delicious baked goods like cookies, muffins and (extremely yummy!) cinnamon rolls.

Let’s take a closer look at those chocolate chip cookies. Mmmmm. Quick! Pass me a glass of milk!

Choose from the wraps and soups…

or tempt your sweet tooth with a pie.

Can’t decide? Poppy is always delighted to help you pick or answer ingredient questions. Gluten free bread is available, too!

Once you’ve made your selection, you can choose from comfortable indoor seating or grab a picnic table on the outdoor patio shared with J’s Burger Dive. (We’ll profile J’s soon!)

But be warned… you’re going to want a package of cookies for the road!

Have any of you visited Poppy’s yet? What menu items do you recommend most?

Check back next Thursday when the Visitor’s Guide stops in at Sew Seasonal, our fabric store dedicated to holiday fabrics! If you have a visit to Hamilton planned, be sure to check out the rest of our Visitor’s Guide series!
