Hamilton, Missouri

Another year of blogging has begun, I just printed my 4th book from Blog2Print.  I love the idea of have personal journals to keep for myself and my grandchildren.

Today for Blue Monday I am sharing a photo of  J.C. Penney's birthplace, Hamilton, Missouri.
I spent a day of quilt fabric shopping with my SIL here last summer.



The " Missouri Star Quilting Company" is an amazing store. I'm not a quilter but they have every fabric imaginable. They have a wonderful on-line store too for all you quilters.



There are numerous original buildings still there from when Mr. Penney lived there.  To see detail enlarge the photo.

It's nice to know a bit more about this great man of God. I'm sure he'd be unhappy with his store open on Sunday--just like every other one.

Thanks for sharing, Ann.

Please consider returning and leaving a comment for me.
Happy Blue Monday!

Hi Ann, now I know where J. C. Penny was from. I'm not a quilter, but when I end up at a quilt shop I want to be a quilter too!

I do not quilt either, but I have a great love for quilts. Have too many, but still want all I see.

Hi Ann
I'm with Debbie do tell us more about printing the blog into a book I had a look at the website, it looks great.
I would love to be a quilter, I can imagine you had a lovely day out with your SIL choosing fabrics and catching up.
Thanks for your lovely comment on my blog
