Hold your hats on girls, Missouri Star Quilt Company is ready to welcome Sisters on the Fly to Hamilton, MO.  We are so excited that you are goin’ to join us for a rip snortin’ week of doing the two things you love most, campin’ & quiltin!  We will have a fun filled week of scavenger hunts, classes, and a visit to the quilt museum.

If you are wanting to get an early start on the retreat or your flight brings you to Hamilton Monday, you may check in after 4:00 pm. 

Sewing tables - Each person will have their own 2’ x 4’ table. Due to limited space, we ask that you do not bring your own tables except for TV trays. If you need your personal sewing chair, feel free to bring it. The Retreat Center has design walls by the sewing tables. We do have assigned seating for sewing, so if you are traveling with friends and would like to sit together to sew, please contact: [email protected][email protected].

Meals - A continental breakfast will be served Wednesday and Thursday mornings and Friday will be a hot Farewell Breakfast. All starting at 7:00 am. Our breakfast includes cereal, oatmeal, toast, bagels, yogurt, cottage cheese, hard boiled eggs, & fresh fruit. Lunch and dinner will be provided by our local caterers. Lunches are served at noon Wednesday and Thursday. Dinners will be served at 6:00 pm Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday nights.

Snack Table - There will be a snack sharing table. Feel free to bring your own favorite munchies or special non-alcoholic drinks to share. There is coffee, tea, water, and ice available for us. We do have use of the kitchen area except when the meals are being served. The kitchen has a refrigerator, oven, microwave, and dishwasher that we can use. If you have a favorite cup you like to use, please consider bringing it. (The Retreat Center has gone to all paper products.) Please be considerate to others and clean up after you use the kitchen.
