The view from the other side of the Missouri River

Quick! What's the capital of Missouri?

Another Photo Heavy Post! from Humble Quilts

I'd like to share a few quilt shops we went to on our Midwest road trip. And a few other random photos! In no particular order on my blog:

This first one was jammed packed. It is called The Quilted Moose in Gretna, NE

Since nobody is paying me for reviews, I'll just say this was the least friendly quilt store that we shopped.
