The story of the Show Me State runs far wider and deeper than you might expect. It is a story of makers, families, communities, shops, museums and traditions - in a place where quilting has revived towns, preserved histories, built livelihoods and brought people together. In many ways, Missouri captures so much of what we are trying to understand: that quilts are never only quilts. They carry the fingerprints of the people who make them and t he character of the places they come from.
