Missouri Star Academy: A Stitcher’s Paradise Awaits!
Hello, sewing friends! I am beyond excited to invite you to an event that I”ve been helping to plan. Mark your calendars for June 10th and 11th, because Missouri Star Academy (MSA) is back and ready to shine in Hamilton, Missouri!

What is Missouri Star Academy?
Think of MSA as two unforgettable days filled with creativity, learning, and fun. Whether you’re a seasoned quilter, an enthusiastic sewist, or just starting to explore the magic of fabric and thread, MSA has something for everyone. With classrooms buzzing with activity and some of the best instructors in the industry, you’ll have the opportunity to grow your skills and spark your creativity like never before.

Schedule Highlights
Each student can choose four classes that interest them. They will have two classes on Tuesday and two classes on Wednesday. Each class will be one hour long. There will be many classes to choose from and the cost is $195. That price included a MSA t-shirt, a goodie bag, four classes, lunch on both days, and classroom materials. All classes are within walking distance of downtown shops.
Registration Details
Spaces are limited, and trust me, you do NOT want to miss out. Here is the schedule for registration:
- February 14: The schedule will be released. Registration isn’t open yet, but you can be deciding which classes you take.
- March 7: Registration opens. Some classes will fill up faster than others. Be ready to sign up.

A Personal Invitation
I’ve attended countless events over the years, but there’s truly nothing like MSA. The energy, the camaraderie, and the sheer joy of being surrounded by people who love sewing as much as you do is unparalleled. I’ll be there, helping with the event, because not only do I write for Nancy’s Notions, but I also help with event planning at Missouri Star. I hope you’ll find me there and tell me hello!
