Hamilton Visitor's Guide: Penney's Quilt Shop

Today's stop in our Hamilton Visitor's Guide is at Penney's Quilt Shop, our Missouri Star solids and basics shop! Prepare yourself for a giant dose of COLOR! This building has some great history! Most recently it was a hardware store. Many many years ago, it was a JC Penney store, owned by JCP himself! It was his 500th store. How cool is that? Did you know that Hamilton is the birthplace of JCP? True story! That's a Visitor's Guide post for another day. Back to the fabric! Penney's Quilt Shop houses solids, minky fabrics and basics that don't go out of print. A recent visitor from Kansas City said it was "like walking into a life sized crayon box." We loved hearing that! Want a tour? Along this wall, you'll see all of our Robert Kaufman Kona solids. We have just about every color and will very soon have them all! That sign was used for a traveling play about the life of JC Penney. A local Hamilton resident had it in storage and offered it to us. We LOVE how it looks and love that it is hanging in what used to be a JCP store! So cool! There are solids & precuts in bright and cheery bundles. At the back of the shop, you'll see our Shannon Cuddle fabrics. We've got every color, too! The right half of the shop is home to allllll of the Moda Bella solids: And we've got Free Spirit Designer Solids, too. More bolts of these arrive every day, so look for them to grow and grow! Our Stonehenge section is also growing! It now includes hundreds of different prints! Are dotted fabrics your thing? Or maybe swirl fabrics? Oh, I see. You're more of a star fabric person? OK. What about chevrons? Big or small, we've got them all! Decorating this store is been fun! It's such a big building, too! Penney's Quilt Shop is located across the street and down a block from the main shop, at 215 N Davis Street. It's open Monday- Saturday 9am-5pm, just like the main shop, Sew Seasonal and the Mercantile.
