Missouri or Bust

I made a quick trip to Missouri recently.

Kansas City was a breeze to fly into and out of and Hertz was amazing! (no need to stand in line! Go directly to your car) 

Backroads are always fun to drive on! 

I stopped at a large antique mall and below are a few quilts I saw. 

Can't go wrong with a nine patch!

This was beautiful! The block was fairly small.

The quilting was exceptional.

Jessica is moving and was having a living quilt estate sale! Laurie and I went to her house last year and did a bit of shopping. Check that post HERE. So I knew what I was getting into!

Martha Sparks came to help Jessica. I met her and worked with her a bit on the Oregon Quilt Documentation project in 2010. See that post HERE. It was wonderful to reconnect with her! All three of us have a love for quilt history, historical fabrics and quilts.

The night before the sale we met for a leisure meal. Great company. You know how some people you feel so comfortable with? That is Jessica and Martha!

Let's get this party started. These two worked hard! I shopped hard!

It was a whirlwind trip but so fun!
