In the small twn with a ppulatin f 1,800, Missuri Star Quilt Cmpany nw emplys ver 400 peple.
Nw we are regularly receiving large grups f visitrs t Missuri Star Quilt Cmpany shps. Great as thse numbers are, the thing that makes me happiest is what I did in that very first vide: teaching smene hw t quilt.
