What a wonderful day

I have been on a long car trip with my husband and when I found out we were going through Missouri I told him we had to go to M*QC. Great guy that he is we made that little detour today. I walked into the old shop by accident and walked right up to Jenny and gave her a hug. She is a good hugger.;0) She told me where the new shop is and I had a fun hour and a half there, spending lots of money, beautiful shop, fantastic people, hope one day to go back again.

Here is a picture of us together.

WoooHooo!!!! Score - good for you Claire!!!! Great picture!

Good for you Claire...You are sooo lucky....that was a must that you stopped if you were even a little close to the shop...I look forward to seeing all the pictues of the shop...all quilt shops are a passion for me...I would especially like to visit M*QC on day...have a safe trip...Carol

What a wonderful trip...and a great pic!

What a thrill that must have been. I can't wait to go see Jenny and the new shop. Awesome pic BTW :)

Lucky you....nice pic....love the quilt behind you too!

I wish I could go, too. I live 801 miles from them, and I have the route mapped. It is a bit more than a day trip! Great picture!!

So Jealous, you got to go to THE shop and meet THE Jenny, hope you had a great time

How wonderful for you and a great pic! I live 675 miles so it would be a bit of a drive for me.

How wonderful! I'm so glad your DH made the side trip for you.

Claire, so happy for you that you got to meet Jenny in person! She is truly like your BFF the minute you lay your eyes on her! Glad you got those special hugs, and got to shop there!

I am green with envy! Lucky you!

Fantastic. Must have been a wonderful thrill to meet Jenny and see the new store. I am hoping to talk DH into a road trip this summer.
It would be a two day trip for us. We are at the bottom of Missouri and it is 260 miles and about a 5 hour trip, so we would have to get a room, plus take the dogs with us. So we will see.

What a great trip. Glad you got to meet Jenny!
How about when one of us wins the lottery we buy a bus, hire a driver, for the soul purpose of taking us to MSQC when needed. LOL

How fantastic! I am jealous too, but so glad you had a great time :)

What a fantastic picture of both of you! I sure wish I could go visit the shop, but that's highly unlikely with where we live....I guess I can still dream though!

Really was a Wonderful Day, one that many of us here on the message board wish we were with you to get a hug from Jenny. May in Jersey

It was a good day today, too.:0) We stopped in Paducah Ky on our way today and I went to Eleanor Burns shop there, too. Eleanor was not in her shop to hug me, but I did get a picture with her cardboard substitute. I will post that photo soon.
Tomorrow we will be home after more than 5000 miles on the car and three weeks on the road. It has been a wonderful trip but I am ready to sleep in my own bed and use my own washer. :0}

Claire....I'm so glad you got to meet Jenny and see the new shop! I hope to be able to go there some day...I think in the Fall when it cools off so Miss Molly can go with us and nap in the truck while I shop. I love the quilt behind your picture with Jenny. Hugs, Barb

What a wonderful husband you have to take you to quilt heaven!!! Love the picture. Hope you hugged Jenny for all of us!
