December brings a quieter pace to Quilt Town, with time for finishing handmade gifts, gathering with loved ones and sneaking in a few stitches between holiday plans. Whether you’re visiting us in Hamilton or spending the season in your sewing room, here’s what to keep on your December 2026 calendar.
Plan Your Visit: December Holiday Shop Hours
Before you head to Missouri Star, make a note of these early closings and closed days. All times are Central.
- Christmas Eve, Thursday, December 24: Shops close at noon.
- Christmas Day, Friday, December 25: Shops closed.
- New Year’s Eve, Thursday, December 31: Shops close at noon.
- Sundays, December 6, 13, 20 and 27: Shops closed.
If a Christmas Eve or New Year’s Eve visit is part of your holiday plans, make it a morning outing so you have time to browse before the shops close at noon.
A Little Quilting Inspiration, Wherever You Are
Can’t make it to Hamilton this month? Bring a little Missouri Star into your day with Jenny’s Countdown to Christmas Box unboxing videos. The countdown begins December 1, and you can follow along with each day’s video on our Jenny’s Christmas Box Unboxing page.
Pour something warm, settle into your favorite chair and make it a little daily quilting break. If you’re opening a box of your own, save the video until you’re ready to unwrap that day’s surprise.
Two December Demos in the Main Shop
If you’re visiting Quilt Town earlier in the month, add one of Andrea’s demos to your plans:
- Monday, December 7, at 10:30 a.m.: Snow Much Fun Template Demo with Andrea in the Main Shop.
- Friday, December 18, at 10:30 a.m.: Alphabet Stencils Demo with Andrea in the Main Shop.
Each one is an opportunity to fit a little creative inspiration into your December visit!
A Little Gift, Sew Many Possibilities
Looking for a stocking stuffer for your favorite quilter? Physical Missouri Star gift cards are now available to purchase in Main Shop in Hamilton. Tuck one into a holiday card or pair it with a handmade gift for a thoughtful surprise that lets them choose their own fabric, notions, or next project.
Stop by Main Shop during your December visit and check another gift off your list.
Wishing You a Safe, Happy Holiday Season
As the year winds down, we hope you find time for the people and projects that make you happy. Maybe that means adding the last stitches to a handmade gift, picking up a work in progress or simply enjoying a quiet moment with fabric you love.
From all of us at Missouri Star, we wish you a safe and happy holiday season. Wherever you’re celebrating, we hope you make a little time to stitch!
