Continued Progress on the Retreat Center at Missouri Star

Our construction family has been busy this week getting our sleep and sew retreat center ready for you!

outside of sleep and sew building — Side view of the building

painted doors and wood — Cabinet doors being painted and tons of wood floor sitting in boxes!

retreat center room — One of the rooms upstairs. Love how bright it is!

Things are getting painted, the wood floor is being acclimated to the room downstairs, and we have carpet being installed! So exciting! This place is just itching to have you come visit!

Meanwhile across the street…

A few things are going on in this building:

seth overseeing — Mainly Seth checking up on the guys doing Sheetrock 🙂

sheetrock at the building across the street — Working hard

Insulation done, and Sheetrock going up. Don’t you love those old tin ceiling tiles? Can’t wait to show you more!

*To answer some previously asked questions, there is not an elevator in the retreat center 🙁 There are two rooms downstairs, but the rest are upstairs. The downstairs will be used for classes, etc.

We have a lot of things in the process…

So much is happening in our little neck of the woods! Did you hear about our cool feature in the Kansas City Star?!?! Holy smokes were we excited. We got a picture on the front page even! I asked Dad if in all his 17 years of working at the KC Star he ever thought he would be in a picture on the front page, he laughed and said not in his wildest dreams! We were really just blown away by it all.

Mom, Natalie and I have been working like crazy on our magazine deadline for the Christmas issue of Quilting Quickly. ( yup, Christmas already!) We think you guys will love it! WE have filled it to the brim with gift ideas and fun projects to keep you busy all season!!

Getting ready to add the stone to the front!

Enough of that though….we are also working like crazy on the retreat center. Planning it out, and still in the process of construction! I am picking out paint colors and flooring, doors and trim…you know, the exciting stuff! 🙂

Just FYI, if you want to be on a mailing list where we are sending special updates for the retreat center, make sure you’ve signed up for our retreat info email, we are just sending pics there right now, but eventually we’ll work on pricing and reservations and stuff through that list before we go public with it all.
