Missouri Quilt Museum

Worth the stop. So many amazing quilts on display. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable. We met some nice people here as well. There are bathrooms if needed. It is an old school , so lots of stairs. Not sure if there is an elevator.

I'm a quilter and I can say this place is worth the visit. Nestled in the old high school in Hamilton Missouri, three floors of history.

I enjoyed that they had several of them roped off which were truly stunning.

The room with the toy sewing machines was wild. I had no idea that toy sewing machine history goes back so far.

This is a great addition to exploring all of the quilt shops in town. Highly recommend taking the time to see this. The miniature quilts were my absolute favorite.

Worth the stop even if you do not sew, I shared a few pictures but there is so much more to see. Even my husband enjoyed it.

Stopped here on our way home. The museum is an interesting work in progress, plus, has a gift shop with t-shirts and fabric at good prices. We were most impressed with the young quilting, curator Jackson. He has 3 quilts of his own on display. He knew all about the museum, plans of future exhibits, all about the Cherrywood challenge and what would be coming next. Meeting this young man gives me hope for the future. Really enjoyed our visit.

An absolute must-visit when in Hamilton! Out front you'll find the world's largest spool of thread - bring some thread and add to the spool! Inside, you'll find exhibit after exhibit... be sure to visit all 3 floors! Antique quilts, crazy quilts, vintage sewing machines, a gorgeous collection of antique toy sewing machines... there is so much here!
And be sure to ask about how to get your name on one of their bricks out front - put your name, buy a brick in honor of a quilter in your family, or have your quilt guild buy a brick!

Beautifully renovated school building that is climate controlled. 3 floors of over 20 exhibits throughout the museum. Exhibits change quarterly. Over 400 toy sewing machines and 300 quilts on display at anytime. World's largeat spool of thread courtesy of Aurifil is a landmark outside. HIGHLY RECOMMEND this stop!! Museum curators Bob Hughes and Dakota Redford are outstanding!

Lots of stuff Ina small space. There is no elevator at present but they are accepting donations to get one installed. Other than that, we thoroughly enjoyed our visit.

This is a wonderful quilting museum. Guest quilter was really good. Enjoyed seeing the sewing machines and miniature quilts. The old jean pocket embroidery machine was fascinating. The curator was so helpful and informative.

Absolutely amazing. Wide variety of antique quilts with personal stories to modern quilts. Super large collection of children's and miniature sewing machines. Also large exhibit of antique to vintage sewing machines. Oh, and the largest spool of thread !!

Amazing museum. I loved it!!!

The quilt museum is a must see in Hamilton. Go to the Missouri Star shops for fabric but don’t miss the museum for inspiration

Museum is well-curated with permanent and rotating exhibits. Found some surprise treasures in the small museum gift shop.

And Bob, one man welcoming committee is just the best. Felt like I was visiting a friend.

Wow more than I expected. Quilts and story from underground railroad. An incredible toy sewing machine collection. Friendly and informative.

Bob was super helpful, recommended we eat at the bowling alley, which was really good!! The quilt displays were varied, unique and enjoyable! The full scale and toy sewing machine displays were the most I have ever seen!

Loved visiting the Museum. I enjoyed seeing all the machines especially the variety of small machines. Thank you Bob for all the information.

The Missouri Quilt Museum is filled with so many beautiful quilts ranging in age from
the 1800's to today. There are a lot of other interesting items including sewing machines, thimble collections, and industrial machines. The Museum is in an old school building and I love they are incorporating the original school in their exhibits. For example, they use the chalk boards to display information about quilts on exhibit and they use lockers for a fun exhibit about quilt blocks. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. I highly recommend this museum!

It was put together really well and very interesting.
In the off season (November through February) it is by appointment only.

We had a great time. There were some surprising quilts from all over the US.

The staff were wonderful and knowledgeable. The exhibits are beautiful and kept in good condition. Great place would highly recommend going and spending an hour or 2.

My wife and I were there today. A very informative, polite, and young man greeted us: Jackson. He had a wealth of knowledge about the museum. What a place. I wish my knees felt better!

Lots of amazing quilts, toy sewing machines, even mini quilts with patches as small as 1/16 of an inch.
