Hi there!
I was driving in to work this morning and had this crazy idea to see if I could coordinate an overnight bus trip in the Fall (actually 3nights) from Michigan to Missouri Star Quilt Company, shop hopping on the way down and back.
I would love any input from those who have coordinated trips, from those who have been on trips, both pros and cons, and any feedback of any kind.
I've started listing notes as thoughts have come to mind and I can't believe how long my list is already.
Or if you might be interested in going. No idea on cost or concrete date, as of yet.
Thank you in advance.

Have a cancellation policy. It will happen. Good luck and no thanks to coordinating a bus trip. Securing hotel rooms, planning stops, meals, etc. Enlist a quilt shop with experience in doing this. Charge enough to cover the empty seats that are sure to occur. The bus charter will be a set price either way. My 2 cents. Maybe the charter bus company will assist in planning this. Good luck.

This is the best idea, contact a professional. Then post the information in all the quilting groups and FB you have access to, even the MI quilt shops may post it for you. I think you would fill a bus. there is so much interest in MSCC.

I went on a shop hop bus tour from Missouri Star about two years ago. We went north into Iowa and stopped at some great quilt stores. Some way out in the country, I can't remember where they were, but someone from Missouri Star might help you.
