if I may…
So I have had a great adventure recently as my sister and I have started the Missouri Star Quilt Co, it’s been a surprisingly fun experience working with family and I would be remiss if I did not give a quick bit o’ love to one of my best friends who happens to be a business partner of mine.
You gotta love this girl and I am constantly amazed at what she is able to accomplish. Let me give you a brief run down of what it’s taken to get here, and keep in mind, this is all done with 5 crazy kids and a champion of a husband, who all have karate, some have soccer, football, music and other commitments. A house of their own that needs attention from time to time, church commitments, and various other time sapping factors in play. So with all that going on, she has managed to find and negotiate a price on a building, close on the building, handle taxes and lawyers, work out loan needs with the bank, incorporate her company, remodel almost entirely a good chunk of the purchased building, get the multiple insurances necessary, come up with alternative financing for the quilt machine, get all the permits and tax id’s necessary to run a business, and the list goes on.
We talk every morning before I start work and we reset what needs to be done that day, and almost without fail, we do a call at the end of the day where she confirms that everything is taken care of. An absolute joy to see everything come together, and I just love working with miss Sarah. My family spoils me, what can I say? 
It’s true. She’s incredible, I don’t know how she does it.
wow, Al….thanks. I too, have really enjoyed working with you and am so excited about what is to come of this adventure! i also consider you to be a best friend, and am grateful I have gone on this journey with you! thanks!
Wow what can I say…I have really talented kids! I also love that you love each other! Thank you, momma
I totally agree…Sarah is amazing! I am glad you two are finally DOING what we’ve always thought could be done! Hooray for you both!!! Love you!
so I have yet to see the building but even without I could have easily agreed at how awesome she is… the girl has focus and she gets it done…. no wonder she always finished cleaning the room before me, she’s not one to just sit down and cry
Anyway i agree that I’m thrilled to see you guys doing this and can’t wait to see how it goes and what will happen! Good luck to you and everyone involved!
So happy and proud for Sarah – and you! Can’t wait to hear more about this venture and see pics of the place!
