What a GREAT day in Kansas City! ❤️💙

Our adult trip was packed with fun, history, and great company! We started the day exploring the Money Museum, enjoyed a delicious lunch at Brickhouse KC, and then finished the day with a fascinating guided tour of the National WWI Museum and Memorial. 🇺🇸

So many interesting things to see, learn, and experience—and of course, plenty of laughs and good conversation along the way! We’re so glad everyone joined us for such a wonderful day out. 🚌✨

Thank you to everyone who made the trip so much fun! We’re already looking forward to our next adventure! ❤️

…special request trip for the, Pieces & Patches Quilt Guild, for a quilt shop hop—so today we loaded up and did just that! And boy these ladies know how to shop!

Our first stop was, The Fabric Chic & Stashworthy Fabric, in Parkville, MO. The shops were so quaint and cute with beautiful fabric. The entire town truly looked like it could be out of a sweet hometown TV series. Will definitely go back.

Next up, we traveled to Mission, KS where we visited, KC Maker Studio. This place is HUGE with fabric and tools in every inch of the building! They also have large machines in the back where we could see some quilters at work!

By this time, we had reached the lunch portion of our trip and headed to, Burg & Barrel. The special and popular menu item today was, you guessed it a cheeseburger and fries for $10. That was the pick of most of our group and everyone said it was delish! If you’re ever in Overland Park—give it a try!

Our bellies were full but next we headed to a couple more shops in Overland Park, Quilters HQ & Harper’s Fabric & Quilt Co. Both were busy and full of all kinds of quilting/sewing items!

Last up on our list was, Quilter’s Bliss, in Olathe. Another cute little shop in a strip mall. Shopping was a success here for many and it was a great end to our quilt shop hop.

It was HOT today and these ladies shopped until we “dropped” and headed to QuikTrip for a nice cool drink to get us back home!

For being a non-quilter, but thinking it’s incredible how those who are “Piece & Patch” these beautiful items together—it was a great day and happy these ladies reached out to have us be a part of it! Thank you for a great day! 😊

(Overload pics in Parkville, MO because it truly is one of the cutest towns!)

Good News!

The part for our broken air conditioner arrived much sooner than anticipated, and we are back up and running!

It will take a few hours for the temperature to return to normal, but we are headed in the right direction.

Thank you for your patience and understanding during this outage. We truly appreciate it!

Important Notice

The main air conditioning unit at the Rec Center has a broken control board. A replacement board has been ordered, but it will be a few days before it arrives and can be installed.

In the meantime, the majority of the building—including the upstairs area, gym, and weight room—will be extremely warm until the repair is completed.

We appreciate your patience and understanding. We will provide an update as soon as the repair is finished and the building begins to cool down.

Thank you for your understanding!
