- I wanted to give you all a video tour of the Missouri Star Quilt Company shops in Hamilton, MO! It's very spur of the moment and unedited fun so I hope you enjoy it! Leave me a comment and let me know what you thought of the video. It is a little bouncy as this was my first time filming a video with a selfie stick. Sorry!

Thanks so much! I have learned so much from you and Jenny over the past few months.
l never thought I would be able to quilt but have just completed two for new babies. I am now working on a third for a housewarming gift.
I enjoy your warm approachable mannerisms!
Keep it up, Vanessa!
Wow - I had no idea! Really curious exactly how they accomplish order fulfillment for their online business since customers might purchase from several different "stores" - gives me a headache just to think about it! The best part was the man cave, because most men will suffer through ONE quilt shop - but half a dozen - NO WAY!!!! Loved to see Jenny in her Diva Den too. Kudos to Jenny for helping to revitalize a small town. I hope to visit one day!!
+sadiejosiemom My husband said he spent 2 weeks with me at the fabric shop one afternoon. He would have loved a man cave while I shoped! lol
We have a Jo-Ann Fabric here in Muskegon Mi and when I walked into their enlarged store I am sure I heard a choir. I probably would hyperventilate being around all of that beautiful fabric at Missouri Star quilt company Yes, I would need a brown paper bag because I am sure I would be hyperventilating. LOL

Really enjoyed the video tours. Really wish I could get over to the US to visit. I have watched all your videos and made lots of your patterns. Can you open a branch in England?
Where do I buy the tee shirts that say sew strong with a sewing machine on.? I'd love to buy a 2x in the pink with a black sewing machine in it? I don't have a regular computer only my smartphone.Please help me be able to buy a tee shirt.
Thank you
Oh my gosh I want all of the fabrics in the second store! So beautiful!
My husband surprised me with a quilt retreat for Christmas! The one I chose, Slumber Party for late April 2021 was
already canceled. But I'm rescheduled for another retreat later in the year. Praying 🙏🙏🙏 this one goes off without a hitch. I'm so excited to visit this amazing little town #quilttownUSA
I live 4 hours away from Hamilton and I have been there once. It was really fun and I did buy fabric! lol I looked all over for Jenny but did not find her! I would have loved to say hello to her because I love her videos! I really enjoyed being there, shopping, and having lunch.
I'm going to my first ever retreat this summer. I can't wait to meet Jenny and go to all the shops!
Thanks Vanessa,
You taught me how to sew. I found your videos about 5 years ago along with Jenny's. I was excited to see my two favorite people together doing tutorials. Thanks for the tour.
Ok
hi I am from india I have seen all your views i like them from were can i get all the different shapes of rulers do u have a branch in india
Oh my I want to visit so badly. Loved your tour. Thanks for showing us all the fabulous fabric.
OMG!!! On my bucket list!!! Thanks for the great tour!!
I am just a big fan of your videos
Thanks for sharing! I never knew they has so many different shops! Way kewl to know, I want to go someday!
Oh my gosh, I feel like I died and went to heaven. lol I told my husband I want to go there. Thank you for the tour, and I loved seeing Jenny in there, She is awesome
I only HAVE A SMART PHONE.SO WHERE DO I BUY A SEW STRONG TEE SHIRT?
Did you ever have the opportunity to listen to the podcast about how she started her little empire there? Jenny was on the Business Start Up Podcast, August 23, 2019 episode. It's quite interesting - and inspiring. This is on my bucket list to see. I loved shopping in the garment district in NYC so I'm sure I'll go crazy here!
I live about 3 and 1/2 hours away. I am going to come out with my husband and check out this town and buy fabric!! I love the man cave idea. I wonder if there are any historical sights nearby we could visit to satisfy my husband!
Good idea for the tour but I got a headache and seasick from the bouncing around. I think it was very unsteady. I suggest you get better with the selfie stick. Don't really want to see you but I rather see the shop an the fabric...I hope you don't take offense because I enjoy your videos too..
I agree-too disorganized also. Show us just the fabrics and what is in the shop-and I don't need her selfies either. Purpose is the quilting store.
I absolutely love MISSOURI Star Quilt Company! Jenny you are amazing!
Oh my...I would be broke if I went there
....this is on my wish list now!
Vanessa... This is the best video ever! I'll never be able to get to
Missouri, do it was wonderful to see the shops....and all that gorgeous fabric.! Thank you so much...
Fabulous! Thanks for the tour! OMGoodness, It wouldn't do for me to live near there...I'd be broke all the time.lol
Thank you for this tour. I hope to visit in Sept 2017 when I'm on my grand tour. Nice to know that I'll have to allocate one whole day for the one town. So much fabric and so many smiles. The quilt shops I've been to here in Australia just don't compare with the awesome range of fabrics.... I can't wait.
Thoroughly enjoyed it Vanessa, and Missouri Star Quilt Co. is on my bucket list.
+Linda Deutscher Glad to hear it!
Thank you so very much, Vanessa. I really love they way they have all the shops set up. You are a doll.
+Rolanda Jones Glad you enjoyed it!
I would love to take a vacation JUST to visit Missouri Star Quilt Company! I had no idea there were several stores with the different prints! My dream is to be able to attend a retreat. Believe me I will be dropping some STRONG hints around my birthday/Christmas! The way I feel when watching this video is how a kid must feel when watching the Disney World commercials! I want to go!!! This is in my future! Somehow, someway!!! Thanks for the tour!!! You're awesome Vanessa!
Thanks Vanessa for the update on the goings on in Hamilton. My daughter and I were there in May and I see more stores have opened since then. Loving your tutorials from Hamilton and your regular Crafty Gemini tutorials. You should have shown where the quilts are quilted. Quite an operation in itself. Looks like I should be planning another trip.
wow - great video! i never knew there were so many MSQ shops and i love the shot of Jenny in her quilting diva room - fabric everywhere! i showed my hubby the man cave- awesome idea.
i first found you online when i began to sew and i watched your tutorial on how to do a ladder stitch. it was clear and easy instruction and i have been watching your tutorials ever since. thank you Vanessa. i enjoyed the tour through hamilton, missouri.
Wow, I love your video, you are so fun to watch, and I love your tutorials, as well as Jenny's, so this was quite a treat, thanks so much! This was awesome, and for anyone who isn't able to get there, nice to know, just order from the website I will get there someday. Thanks Vanessa!!!!! You are an inspiration.
Gracias por compartir este vídeo. Como me gustaría estar en ese lugar. me fascina el patchwork.
a pesar q no hablo inglés trate de comprender todo.
Por favor cuando puedas cuelga videos en español. Besos desde lima Perú.
Thanks for the tour:) Almost feel like I was there. For those few minutes, I was out and about. Though never will actually get there...I know the feeling of being there! Perfect get away (virtual) for a shut-in...thank you again. Brightest blessings to all.
Amazing, thank you
My Favorite place to shop online, thank you for sharing
+Kevin LeMay Glad to show what it all looks like!
Oh gosh this video was awesome! How I would LOVE to visit there! Thank you so much for the tour!
Really cool to see you and these ladies in the same video. Lots of talent packed into this one place!
thanks V you are the best this is for sure going to be on my bucket list. Wow 2 place that I want to go to. your retreat and Jenny's shop
OH MY GOSH! I love Jenny Doan and you Vanessa!!! i'm so JEALOUS! Thank you so much for the tour Vanessa!
I would've loved to be a part of your retreat. You're so much fun to watch and I'm still a beginner to quilting/fabrics. Thanks for the video! I definitely added this to my bucket list.
OMW!! All of the fabric stores in my area combined don't have that variety and amount of fabric! Sooooo jealous of the quilters who live near here!! Jenny....you have an amazing company....two thumbs up!
Thanks! Loved the tour. It's definitely on my list. Hope I can get there soon!
I never realized how Huge it was! I can't imagine trying to shop there LOL Thank you for the video!
Vanessa, you done a fantastic and very interesting video and it was just so great to see you showing and telling all about Jenny Doan's shops!! Would love to go see all of them in person. ( Maybe one day I hope). So glad that Jenny's business is helping out the community of Hamilton!! Making peoples dream come true. Jenny's story is so amazing!! Love all thetutorials from MSQC and Crafty Gemini. Looking forward to more fabulous videos!!! Thank You!!!!
I would need a week to shop and about $1,000 just to spend!! That is my Heaven all kinds of fabrics!!! OMG !! I need to be there!!! I’m so jealous that you’re there and I’m in bed with my disability and can’t be there!!
I loved it! From start to finish I was mesmerized. This is the best thing I have watched for ages, Well done!
I heard you also speak Spanish... which is great... for people want to learn your goodies in Spanish.... Love you both hook up together. Good two gals, that show what you know with all the "secrets".... love it...!! I'm originally from Peru, but reside in California.
Vanessa: Great public relations video. I printed out a map quest map from my home in Abilene, KS to Hamilton, MO. Top of my bucket list. You did a great job. Good to see Jenny and all the happy faces at all the shops. Looking forward to the retreat dates.
I really enjoyed this video! Thanks for sharing! I had no idea that Missouri Star Quilting Company was such a huge operation with a vast inventory . I would LOVE to visit Hamilton and "go crazy" in all these shops. In a few months, I am moving to Cape Girardeau, MO, and I just looked up online how long it takes to drive from Cape to Hamilton. Almost SIX hours! OUCH!!! Will have to make a three day trip out of it, but it will be worth it!!!
I need to know if you know the name of the fabric on the wall in Jenny's room.. Looking at 5:02-5:05 time of this video.. its on the wall in the left corner. It's got block edging and applique flowers.. looks to be in the purple family.. Do you know? Can you find out? I have a bride who would love those colors.
THANKS!!
Yes, it was a little bouncy - but it kinda felt more Vanessa-personal that way. I had a couple of reactions while watching it -- and they made me smile.
#1 - I was surprised by all the different shops MSQC has as I hadn't been keeping up with their blog and online retail site and all the changes that have taken place since their first couple of years. I'm surprised the City Council hasn't made a sign as you enter the town, "Hamilton, Missouri -- Home of Missouri Star Quilt Company" or have they?).
#2 - I thought, gosh! I'll bet MSQC is kicking themselves, wishing they'd done a video with a tour like you did.
# 3 - Seeing Jenny's workspace was quite interesting. Lots going on there.
#4 - I wondered if you had kinda done the "Don't ask, don't tell" thing by going out on your own and seemingly made the video as as last minute thought when you woke up that morning because some of the staff seemed surprised to see you doing it.
#5 - When Jenny's son of the IT Dept (I can't remember his name) showed up with another guy (also a family member?), it reminded me of a western with the sheriff showing up in the saloon when someone else in town had run into the sherfiff's office to tell him a "Wanted" man was at the bar! Ha! I guess he was checking out exactly what it was that you were doing with your camera. I can't remember any pictures of prices ...
I do know they knew you were there because you'd been invited to be an instructor at the retreat, and had already done a video with Jenny on another occasion. But the surprise element of your camera added to excitement. You did a nice job on your "show and tell" and made me wish I was there to enjoy the retreat and the fellowship of other quilters. And inspite of the sheriff showing up, I think you deserve a presentation fee from their marketing department; more people will want to shop there after seeing what's available. Thanks for doing it - it was so fun to watch!
Dear Vanessa, oh thank you for this wonderful tour. I live in CA and will have to add this to a bucket list!... BTW I have made 3 of your tote bags... love them....
I was visiting my sister in Springfield, Missouri 18 ago and this was on our list of places to go....but time ran out so we decided next year....now the Covid-19 hit and we are hunkering in place, she in Springfield and me in Pennsylvania outside of Philadelphia sewing masks instead of quilts.
I have more than 30 scratch cards, and I'm convinced that the only cards are 100 Quilter's points! !! That's the only thing I have gotten!!!!
OMG!!!! this place is a dream!! American quilters are so lucky!!!! Miss Missouri Star can you open one here in France?? haha I will visit you one day!!! Thanks a lot for the video
Hi Vanessa thanks for the walking tour through all the shops and so much fabric . I have a visit to MSQC on my bucket list hopefully for 2016, although my local quilt shops are great would love to be within driving distance of Hamilton . Being a 13 hours plus plane ride away makes it a bit more difficult to get there. Thanks again for the great tour.
Unfortunately I couldn’t watch this video, the handheld selfie stick made the video very jumpy, nauseating! Too bad…
Very NICE!! This brings back memories of my many trips to "Calico" out in California, off HWY 15. How great it would be if Hamilton, Mo had a stage coach ride, an old fashion carousel, a sasparilla shop, a penny candy store, and of course a five and dime.
Thank you so very much Vanessa for the tour of Missouri Star Quilt Company shops!The entire 2 videos were great. I don't know if I will get there in person,but I love everything about them. I love your site,tutorials,and as a beginner quilter I have learned many things from you..for that Thank you . I was sorry to read that you will not be working w/Missouri anymore, so sad after your great job video taping such great stuff...Thank you again..
My only critisism is that the camera was moving too quickly. With that outa the way ;) I want to say THANK YOU for taking the time to do this. Wow; there is so much to show and see and I think you did a great job hitting on everything. I like how you were friendly to everyone. I am so glad you chose to film while on the street and talk about other businesses that are around because if people want to visit, they will already be ever-so-slightly familiar with what is within walking distance. Even that small amount helps with anxiety of the unfamiliar for people like me. You seem like such a natural on camera. Well done!
Wow I'm coming to Hamilton USA all the way from Australia what a place. I have already made two quilts from Jenny's tutorials on You tube. Planning a tour retreat for 2017 for my quilting mates.
Great video tour and there’s nothing I would like better than to come and visit you but unfortunately you’re 7,899 km away... 😢😢😢
Thanks so much for the tour in Jenny's shops. I am a huge fan of Yours as well as Jenny's Tutorials...and have made several quilts and other smaller things from that. A big big thanks for taking the time so I also feel I have visit Hamilton. Happy quilting from Elisabeth in Denmark
thanks "crafty". Looking forward to visiting when it gets cooler. when will the Man Cave be open...my hubby will like to check it out. Also please give us a headsup about places to eat (yelp maybe). I so wish I could retreat with you and Jenny some day soon. I love that she is really keeping Hamilton alive by buying buildings and making places for people to visit because soooo many of those little midwest towns are like ghost towns now. I didn't know Jenny was doing that with her profits and I'm more committed to buying from her now that I know. thanks again for doing the tour and I can't wait to see it in person.
omg!... I didn't know how huge it was....and I live here in Missouri... lol I'm gonna have to go and visit...tell Jenny I'll be coming and have the coffee on.
Absolutely fantastic video!! You were enchanting, informative, and a terrific sales person!!
I'm watching this in 2018 and am so jealous.....I need to look up all these shops to go to this summer on vacation. Thanks so much for all your videos, you're the absolute best.
I had no idea there were so many shops. I thought it was just one. My only complaint of your video, is you twirled the camera too much, that can make some people dizzy. Maybe, have it show what you're seeing, as you go forward. Then we see it as we would a customer, and not of just your face. You have a nice face though, but seeing everything backwards is confusing. Thanks for the tour.
Awesome video! What a great idea, casual, yet so well done. Vanessa's a natural speaker, informative and easy to follow. Looking forward to more. Beautiful, Thank You!
Wow , Wow , Wow, This was such a wonderful web site . Thanks for sharing . I sure would love to come see you . I just would need several days to visit. Love ,love , love the stores.
I have never been to Hamilton, Missouri, but use to pass through Kansas City while flying to Minot, North Dakota years ago. Those shops are looking great and have so much material in each store and they must be busy getting orders ready for people who order online. Thanks for showing us around the shops and all that great looking material, but I didn't see any tools in those shops for working with material and I know someone has to have some for their customers and I am still looking for some tools now since I could not find everything I needed locally.
This is a great tour video! I was lucky enough to visit in July while visiting family in KS and was surprised to see how many shops make up the Missouri Star Quilt Company. I actually saw you in the main shop. You were buying some fabric and headed down to the retreat building. You seemed in a hurry so I didn't want to bother you and I was fan girling a little anyway since I love watchng your videos and was excited to see you in person. Next time I visit and see you, I'd love to get a picture with you.
All i could think was this is so cool but then I thought, I am overwhelmed, how could i ever pick something from all of that! Problem is I could pick too many somethings! Wow. Seeing Jenny in her work place was really cool too. Some day I do want to go there. Thank you Vanessa for that tour!
Thanks Crafty Gemini! Great tour, I truly enjoyed! Who are these miserable ppl who give quilting videos "thumbs downs? I see that all the time. Weirdos.
Vanessa thank you-thank you!!!! I watch Jenny Doan on youtube. Several times she has mention her shops in Hamilton. Being able to see each shop was a treat. Love the video. Thanks again
That was fabulous. I am in the UK and unlikely to go there so it was marvelous to wander around with you looking at all that lovely fabric, and to see where Jenny Doan works too. Thank you so much for uploading this.It is very much appreciated. Gwen
I want to do a combination of Irish and German quilt for my son. I am going to use the Irish chain but I'm stuck for the German block. Does anyone have any ideas? The quilting I have sorted. Love some ideas.
Awesome tour of all of the different shops! Thanks Vanessa! This visit might have to be several days to take it all in! Maybe in 2016!!
Love your video. I love Missouri Star Quilt! But hon you are moving way to fast!! You can't really see things and it makes me sick with your fast movements.
I was very interested in seeing the fabric selection more closely, especially the civil war fabrics but you were walking WAY to fast to have me see anything closely. Errrr! How will I know if it is worth the trip.
I couldn't watch. The constant movement of the camera and out-of-focus results was making me feel ill. And if you pointed the camera at the store and the people there, we'd actually see what you're trying to show. As the camera person, you don't need to be in every shot. I will add that you're a beautiful young woman and you speak so clearly, it's a pleasure to listen to you.
Vanessa you are absolutely wonderful thank you so much for taking the time to make this video. Going to Hamilton is on my wish list things to do before you die. All that fabric wonderful! Thank you for your crafty videos well you know that desk tidy I made mine into the shape of a tug boat and put silly things in it for my son who was in hospital having a replacement knee as I made it out of Hot Air Balloon material. He comes to all the Balloon Meets in America his comment I bet you got that fabric from the States - yep he was right. Thank you again for your tutorials they give great pleasure. Best Wishes from Shirley Campion UK
Wow! Have you done a recent video? This was awesome, now I know what I’m missing! Plus it was good to see all the types of fabrics they carry! Wow! I so want to go there some day! TFS
Great Video. I knew they had multiple shops, but I didn't know that it was quite that much! I do wonder what happened in the batik shop? You only showed half the store (the left side) but never really showed the right side? Is there fabric on the right side too?
wow it's fantastic. I'm so envious. We don't have anything like this in the UK. Keep up your inspirational work. Julia (UK )
Definitely enjoy this kind of video seeing what is there thank you. I do wish you moved a little slower to not make us dizzy, and stayed on what you were showing a few seconds longer... some of us old folks couldn't adjust our eyes quick enough lol
WOW, what fun and I LOVE the mural of the old Train!!! Seems people there are really friendly. Wish that was everywhere
I enjoyed this but could not understand most of the words due to hearing impairment. Can you add "cc" closed captioning? Thanks :)
I enjoyed the tour. What a great salesperson you are. I am going right to the website. Many fabric shops near me have folded. It’s nice to know I can get such a great variety of fabrics.
Thank you thank you for the tour. I probably will never get there, but it’s my dream. I love Love love it. ❤️👍🏻
Top places I want to visit in the us is Washington DC, Massachusetts, NYC, but most of all Hamilton MO
Vanessa The headband you are wearing is super cute. Did you make it? Is there a tutorial? Planning a visit to Hamilton in Oct. so really glad I found this. You are great.
Thank you so much for the tour! I want to make a trip there so bad. We shall see! But for now I can shop online!
I wish I could show you and Jenny the design I made with the log cabin square. I think even you would be impressed!
I enjoyed seeing all the shops and the vast array of fabrics, I have never seen anything quite like it. Can you do it again only slower with less swishing I got motion sick half way through!!
wow where would you start loved every minute of your tour and would love to visit from Australia one day, thankyou didn’t realise how big this quilt company is.
That was awesome. Great tour! Do you have a video with highlights of a quilting workshop at MSQC?
