Lillian's Legacy Quilt Shop, LLC Seymour, MO — Local services in Seymour

Won't be back, unfortunately. I prefer to shop local. I expected to pay more for local shops than at the big box stores, so I wasn't upset when a fabric that would have been $10-$15 per yard at WalMart or Amazon was $19.90 per yard.

There are also children's toys, books and pens. So that if you come with children, they don't get bored when you are overwhelmed by the huge selection of fabrics.

I finally had time to check out this remote quilt shop I had seen signs for a long MO Hwy 60 in Seymour, MO. I was pleasantly surprised to see a familiar face when I entered, as she had moved from only a few blocks away. I love her layout, so much more room to display her lovely selection of quality fabrics, notions, embroidery supplies, her completed quilts, areas for teaching and of course her beautiful quilting machine and frame. I will indeed be back and will be telling my friends about her location. I was thrilled to learn that she also hosts a weekly Artisan Market and will be checking that out as well, maybe even bringing my creations to...
