I just moved to Missouri and the best thing about my move is that I am only 20 miles from Hamilton! Of course, my daughter and I had to go. She had purchased a gift certificate for me, so I got to spend that. Plans are to go back as often as I can...I want to run into Jenni and the "gang".
How lucky! It is a beautiful state. The fields were purple when I was there. What a beautiful way to welcome in Spring!Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment!
I love this so much. It’s on my bucket list. I’ll go one day but I’m 70 so I must go soon. I’m a handicapped person so I’ll look into that before I go.
A group of us go every July to a Christmas in July theme retreat in Hamilton. It is so fun and relaxing and you can’t beat the price. For future reference, they will order from the warehouse if something is out of stock. It comes a couple hours later but it is so nice.
Yes!!! We did order from the warehouse a few times. It was fantastic. Everyone there was so nice. I had no idea there was a Christmas in July retreat. How busy was the town? It was so quiet while we were there because it was still cold. I'm going to have to put it on my list of retreats to check out. Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment!
I call this my "retirement" budget because when we are retired, I won't be able to spend like that so I'm just stocking up now LOL! I think my husband bought that explanation HA HA HA! Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment!
love your showing! i also purchased the binders. i didn’t want to put what several said they were so i cut up the dividers up and made my own labels for the binders. and they match. :) i really didn’t need three dividers for 10 quilt patterns.
I luv luv luv MSQC! Really like your video and I subscribed and liked!! Not been to Msqc.. I live in Arizona. Drove past it once ( on my way to Wisconsin, my hometown) but couldn't convince my grand daughter to stop.... She was bored 🥱! Shouldn't have listened to her... Brat! Hope to get there yet! But I'm 68 and haven't had the opportunity yet. We'll see..... Will watch your UTube!
It's never too late. If you can get three friends to go along, you'll have a blast. The airport is very easy to navigate yourself and they have curbside bag checks. One of the friends I went with came from Arizon. There is a direct flight from Phoenix to Kansas City. I hope you get the opportunity to go one day! Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment!
I bought the nested set you have and 2 previous sets. They are all sew cute... now I have to figure out what to store in them. Missouri Star has sew many nice things online. Their Daily deal is sew fun each night at midnight.
It is! It is so addicting. Do you have the set with quilt blocks? I think they were blue and yellow? We saw that set but it wasn't there for long. What do the others look like? I didn't realize they had a third. Maybe this is going to be a continuous item they change. That would be great! I actually need a new headphone case for my over the ear headphones I take on the plane and I think the large one would be perfect for them. Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment!
Every time you said what your favorite things are, I would almost say out loud, me too. The Mercantile store is my favorite and Kansas Troubles is a top favorite along with Lori Holt. And, I do spend more time organizing than actually sewing, and I store my fabric the same as you do. What a joy to find you. Don't know how I've missed you before. And....I do just about every craft also. Paper crafting is my next biggest love, cross stitching, embroidery, knitting, crochet. I use to toll paint in the 80's, big time. I'm just a generation older, but we could be soul sisters. Lol Thanks for showing your haul, it was fun. I'd like to find out more about the mini retreat. I like doing at my own leisure.
That's how I find my newest favorite thing is by hearing about someone else's favorite thing HA HA HA! Sharing is caring ;) I can't stay still so I'm guessing you are the same way. I just go from one craft to the next, often within the same day. It sure does make organizing a challenge sometimes but I love it. I am also a big paper crafter and go to a lot of scrapbook crops and retreats. Those are a lot of fun too! Thanks so much for stopping by and taking the time to watch and comment.
I hope you see this comment in time... Some of her fabric is 25% off today at MSQC online! I ordered some at 1am when I let the dog out ( thanks boy ;) and when I went back this morning to get a better look, a lot was sold out. I hope you can grab some! Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment!
It's really doable. The airport is easy to navigate, the driver picked me up and dropped me off curbside. It really could not have been easier. Grab a few friends and have your own retreat or go alone to one of theirs and leave with new friends. Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment!
I am so happy you had a great time… I would love to see some of your paper piecing. I have fallen down that rabbit whole lately and I love everything about it…. ❤️
We were just talking about this today. Now when they are $10 people think its a sale. I do love my precuts because they really save time but they can add up very quickly at the register. Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment!
Awesome purchases and happy to hear you had so much fun and plan to return to Hamilton! I have been many times (only 4 hours drive for me)! And I have often seen Jenny too!
That's awesome! My husband travels to KC for work often so I may just tag along with him and take a ride up. I have no business going anytime soon after everything I just bought LOL! They said Jenny was preparing to leave for the UK so we missed her. Hopefully next time! Thanks so much for watching and commenting.
I have so much civil war fabrics, and especially Kansan Troubles, the quilts are always over the top and never go out of style. I like some of Lori Holt and Tula. You need more room.
I know! My husband tells me it doesn't matter what size room I have, I'll fill it up HA HA HA! He's not wrong. I could just look at the fabric all day. Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment!
You're going to love it! Please report back once you get there and let me know what you thought of it. Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment!
@@daniellescraftdiary I got several pieces of fabric. I loved the bags and collected them as if they were priceless. 🤣 I I don’t know how I’ve not discovered you sooner but so happy you popped up. Our granddaughter drove us. It was 4 generations taking a day trip which made it so special for us. Our great grandson is 7 and he and hubby liked the man-cave.
Please tell me what your favorite part was. Mercantile had to have been my favorite store. There was just some energy in the air there... Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment!
Love your review! I subscribed to your channel. I haven’t been to MSQC, but I started over 10 years ago quilting under Jenny’s tutorials. So glad I did too.
I hope you will get there one day but until you do, keep working on those projects and enjoying the time to create. Thanks so much for watching and commenting!
It was a blast! A great refresher for sure. The only problem is that now I want to make ALL of the things ha! Thanks so much for watching and commenting!
I went from Arizona to MSQC and it was a bit of a letdown. Hardly anyone around so I asked a cashier at one of the stores if there were any classes or anything happening. She said “Well Jenny’s not around if that’s what you mean”. No one seemed overly friendly. If you want to visit the town’s quilt museum, check the hours, it was closed when I went. No desire to ever go again.
I'm so sorry you had that experience! Did you go in a winter month? It was very quiet while we were there but we preferred it that way. I do believe if you participate in one of their hosted retreats they keep you pretty busy but I can see how not having anything on the schedule could be a let down also. I hope you were still able to get some goodies to take home with you. Thanks so much for watching and commenting!
Oh sounds like a lot of fun. Do you have to make reservations a year ahead? I like all your things. I’m going to a retreat next week. Did you have everything cut before you went or did you cut there. I would like to stay with no schedule and no more added projects just so I can finish a few things. I love organizing and find I also do more organizing than sewing too!-Martha
My friend handled all of it but it was not a year ahead. Maybe 6 months prior but that was just when she scheduled, not because of their lack of availability. They said it's very slow in the cold months so I would shoot for those. You don't have to walk far to get to anything so you're only cold for a few minutes. I did not have everything cut on my projects but I had them started already. Two of my friends are working on the same quilt ( Shine On by Bonnie and Camille) and they each cut all of their blocks before we got there. I think it just depends on if you can cut and talk at the same time haha! It will lighten your load too if you are only bringing fabric that needs to be sewn. Organizing might be more of a hobby than quilting for me some days. Stay tuned, I'm going to have a video of how I just reorganized my fabric! Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment!
I knew she wasn't her daughter but never knew her son's name. Love that name.. Jacob. One of my favorite people in the Bible. But I thought for a long time she was her daughter as well so I get where she thought that.
Where do you live? And I would like to go to a MSQ retreat and maybe a few friends. How do we find out when they will be held and how would we go about getting it together? Enjoyed your video here.
That's a great idea to visit a quilt store in each state and make that state block with the corresponding fabric. Did they let you use a 20% or 25% off code of your entire purchase like you can when ordering on-line? Where did everyone travel from since you mentioned flying? I've not been but live about 3 hours away - which would be 6 or so travel time. I live in Springfield, IL which is in between St. Louis and Chicago.
I've been toying with the idea of getting back into embroidery but have sew many quilts to make. How much was that cloth with the embroidery pattern on it?
The thing that I like about embroidery and cross stitch is that they are portable so I don't feel like I take away from my quilting time. When my kids were young I sat at practices and worked on cross stitch. Now that they are grown, I do it when we watch a movie or when traveling. I keep one in my car at all times if I'm ever stuck waiting ( oil change, picking up curbside orders, etc ) . I used to get a lot more hand work done when they were you but very little quilting. Now it's the opposite! The cloth was about $12 I believe which I thought was very reasonable considering how many are on there. I also purchased the pearl cottons for $3ish each and a hoop and needle. You can use DMC to really cute cost and a wood frame or Q snaps. All in, it was about $60 but if I waited until I got home and used my stash, I only would have paid for the cloth. If you use DMC you could probably get everything for $25. Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment!
Yes! There were two cutting tables with mats, rulers and rotary cutters. I would suggest bringing your own blades just be sure you are getting nice cuts. There were four tables to sew on. We turned two of the tables to the side so no one had their back facing anyone and it was perfect. There was plenty of space for four people at the same time. There were only a few times someone had to wait to cut and even then it was only for a moment. There were also two ironing boards and several padded TV stands to keep next to you for use with the mini iron. I don't think anyone ever waited for an iron. I'll post some pictured on my Facebook and IG so you can see. @DaniellesCraftDiary Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment!

MSQC is fun for sure. I remember when the full price for charm packs was $5.50!!!!

My weakness!!! Ha! Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment!
I wish they would get the non-skid on the back rulers, you would love them. No gypsy holders needed they dont’ slide on the fabric
Love your haul video. I’d love to do the same with some of my quilty friends. Do you mind sharing the name of where you stayed? Thanks!
We stayed right at MSQC. Just give them a call and tell them you want to book the mini retreat! I hope you love it!
Misty is her son's wife
Misty is not Jennys daughter. She is married to Jacob, Jenny's son.
I knew she wasn't her daughter but never knew her son's name. Love that name.. Jacob. One of my favorite people in the Bible. But I thought for a long time she was her daughter as well so I get where she thought that.

Question: you flew so how did you sew? Take machines? Borrow??

Yes! There were two cutting tables with mats, rulers and rotary cutters. I would suggest bringing your own blades just be sure you are getting nice cuts. There were four tables to sew on.
