When you don't sew at home...you take a trip - across the country apparently

A few weeks ago, I jumped on a plane and met total strangers.  

Yep - something I would NEVER let my daughter do yet I did that exact thing.

Well it all started with bread.  We seriously have some amazing quilters and people around.  Em  and I have been sewing together for a LONG time.

One day she posted about bread on Instagram and the rest is history.

I went on a quilting retreat with some quilty friends to the adorable town of Hamilton, Missouri.
Yes I flew to a whole other state to quilt.

We went to the retreat center for the Missouri Quilt Star Company.
And it was lovely.
They have transformed this small town into a quilters dream.

An entire main street of quilting stores!

So we happen to be there while it wasn't "too" muggy the ladies were telling me.

We were able to not only shop but to enjoy a tractor parade....seriously a tractor parade!



Thankfully I was able to watch from the inside of the quilting retreat building.
Me SPOILED....nah!

So yes...I haven't been quilting but I was planning just ONE project.  Since I had to pack light.  Pfft!

My lovely Fairly Merry had this pattern just published with Alison Glass.


And if you know me I ADORE triangles.

And flying geese {with bloc_locs these are the BOMB}

Drool!





Look at how much I got done!  I love quilting!

Talking about drool we were able to take in some local cuisine.

Hank and Tank BBQ was seriously yummy. Being from the west coast..I know that I need more BBQ in my life.

Oh and Lowell smell as good as his food - just saying.

I am more than lucky to be able to sew with some amazing people.  Go check out our hashtag on Instagram for more #gosewmostar photos and memories.

I love sewing with my people!
