    Question Wonderful quilt shops to visit??

    I will be making a trip from Minneapolis, MN to Branson, Missouri -- what are some wonderful quilt shops to visit along I35 and in the Branson area??

    Thanks for your input.

    You need to make a little detour by Missouri Star Quilting Company:

    Right off I-35 in Ankeny, IA is a shop called Quilter's Cupboard. Delightful people work there. Also, in West Des Moines is another wonderful shop, The Quilt Block. I would recommend both of these. Also, Missouri Star Quilt Company is a must.

    Where are you planning to stay in Branson? My cousins place was featured on tv recently. I'll bet cousins Sue or April could tell you about some nearby quilt shops.

    Hi Grandma Peggy,

    Don't know for sure where we will be staying yet. Do your cousins have a quilt shop?? Do they have a motel or bed and breakfast or a recommendation of where to stay??
