- Опубліковано 5 вер 2023
- Jenny Doan is more than just a quilting icon. She’s a wife, mother, and popular UA-cam personality. Her professional quilting journey began over 27 years ago, back when her family first moved to rural Missouri. Little did she know their random point-and-go selection of the Midwest guided them to an epic adventure atop a quilting empire. Watch this week’s podcast episode and learn how Jenny’s children led the way to the formation and exponential growth of the Missouri Star Quilt Company and its corresponding quilting channel on UA-cam.

I absolutely love Jenny. I made my first quilt in 2018 for my grandson and I learned how to do it from Jenny and I have to say she looks like my grandma who passed in 1970. Love you Jenny and your beautiful family.
Love Jenny watch her show. This woman is so beautiful thank you Jenny.
I have been watching Jenny for about seven years. She gave me the confidence to try. I was in a bad marriage and am now divorced. Quilting got me through the tough times and continues to give me such happiness. Thank you so much Jenny. God bless you and your family. ❤️❤️❤️
Jenny, This is a great picture! You look beautiful in this color!
I love Jenny, I discovered her on youtube & discovered they have an app. I have learned so much.
Jenny, between you and Donna Jordan, I learned to piece quilts, for the first time, at the age of 72♥ I thank you so very, very much for giving me the opportunity to create memories for my Grandchildren and Great Grandchildren♥ God continue to lead you in your teaching and whatever He chooses to do with your life♥ Love you Jenny and family♥
Well done! Kathlenn I taught myself to quilt. I tried starting a group only to be told
we are too old for that. They were in there 50s. Keep on sewing.
Amen it is true the Lord can use anyone and even the least among us. What a beautiful interview. I’ve learned a lot from Jenny.
Jenny, you made quilting avaliable to everyone. You made it easy to make a beautiful quilt without cutting all those little daunting pieces. You taught us that finished is better than perfect and that we could do it. You taught us that we can do this. Thank you. Ronda
I'm too a women of faith. I wanted to learn to sew for many years. We moved from NYC to Pennsylvania, where I took one quilting class. My blessing came when I saw Jenny's video, then my life changed. Jenny is a visual person just like me. She makes everything so easy to understand. I have an autoimmune condition and can't be going to many places. I have been able to open our house to teach young girls not only sewing, but to knitting and crochet. Both my daughters have made a quilts. Thank you, Jenny for your friendship and for being an excellent example of womanhood. I love your joy and how you are giving back to so many. I love to create, and bless others as well. Thank you for sharing.
We will pass your message along to Jenny.
I love, love, love Jenny!! I was touched by how I am one of the many souls that her beautiful journey has helped; From her being the gateway drug to my quilting journey, lol, to experiencing the peace and healing that quilting provides, I can testify that all Jenny said about the positive impact of Missouri Star Quilt Company are true. I know the Lord works in quiet, simple ways to make big things happen. Thank you, Doan Family, for being such a terrific example of what faith, love, and hard work can do for you, others, and the sharing of the Gospel.❤
Very powerful interview. I believe it is relevant to all women and men of faith no matter the religious organization they are members of. Jenny is such an inspiration. I love her quilt tutorials with her daughters along her side. She is so upbeat and her humor is absolutely the best. ❤❤😊😊
I love the fact, that Jenny is not afraid to show and share her faith
I always feel fresher when I see Jenny.
Jenny is a sweet ❤️ I've been to Hamilton and everyone should experience it. God Bless us quilter's
Jenny and her family are such talented, gifted and loving people! ❤️✂️🪡🧵
We stopped in Hamilton on our way do a Church history trip. It was fun. My husband enjoyed the man cave. Several of the Young adult tellers asked where I was from. When I said Idaho, some responded they were going to BYUI.
Loved your story. I plan to visit Hamilton one day. Love that you share your tutorials with us. You are a very giving person.
What a beautiful testimony. You have inspired so many of us. Most of all you send the message that we can all manage to quilt. God bless you and your family.
Jenny is such a gem! She is such a joy to meet and she gives great hugs!
I love Jenny and her message during this interview brought me to tears a few times. I have made quilts for over 40 years, completely self-taught. Watching MSQC videos changed my tecniques and simplfied the process so much. I have made hundreds of quilts and given the majority of them away. I feel quilting has enriched my life and now, in my dotage, it gives me a purpose. Hearing this story of how the Doan's changed a village by reaching out to the world through the computer was wonderful. Thanks fo this interview.
❤
I love Jenny and her quilting tutorials. Love the positive video.
This is an amazing story. Thank you so much for letting her speak her way through and not interrupting. You are both beautifully amazing women!
Thank you for. your kind words. You are right, both Connie and Jenny are amazing!
Jenny is a wonderful beautiful person! She has taught me so much. We are all truly blessed to have her in our lives.
So true, you have touched many lives. I started quitting about the same time and found you on UA-cam. I’ve learned so much from you and your family. Thank you for giving so much of yourself and bringing the love of quilting to so many across the globe. Love you Jenny.
10 or so years ago, I went to a quilt show in our little town on a whim and I was mesmerized by the patterns and colors. I have been sewing clothing since I was about 4 when my Grandmother taught me how to make teeny-tiny buttonholes on Barbie clothes. I had made my own clothes for years, then my bridesmaids dresses for my wedding, then my husband and kids. Quilting was an undiscovered territory. I then found Jenny on line and have been following her for years now. I love everything about the story of MSQC, her family and the blessing she has given to others thru the tutorials and the business. Quilting started as a hobby and today is a daily routine and I love it!! Lisa Parsons
This is a little thing I’m sure but because Jenny is left handed I learned the skills she was offering. Quilting has saved my sanity and given me a community of friends and a way to give and share with my family and friends and the wider community of those who need support and help. I’m infinitely blessed.
Jenny I learned how to make a quilt watching your videos. You are such a breath of fresh air and so positive. Your instructions are so easy to follow. I am in Australia only started quilting after I retired. I am 76 but still enjoying it.Thank you so much. ❤❤
People who quilt are the most giving people I know😊
I’m a retiree who fell in love with quilting 8 years ago. Jenny was and is my teacher. She’s my go to lady for questions. A truly wonderful friend whom I never have met. God Bless
I love your comment "a truly wonderful friend whom I have never met". I feel the same way! Thank you Jenny for being all of our dear friend!
Oh I have loved Jenny for years !! She has taught me everything I know about quilting and I enjoy rewatching all her videos over and over and have for years. Any day I feel down I can sit and watch Jenny for just a tutorial and my spirits are lifted and I never can just watch one tutorial it has to be several or at least half a days worth ! She has the best personality ever I wish she could be my best friend in life !! She's that kind!❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏♥️🙏♥️🙏♥️
I love this story! Such an enthusiastic love for her creative passion. I have also been a costume mistress, set builder, painter etc. Now that I’m retired, I am enjoying quilting and often watch her videos and certainly shop Daily Deals and other wonderful fabric and sewing supplies online! We who create have a unique God given drive and desire to make things. May God richly bless you and your family.
Thank you so very much for sharing your story. When i sew for myself and mostly for others i fell such peace I’ve watched you on you tube and learned so much but watching this, i realized that God was showing me a way for peace. Thank you so very much for sharing your story with the world
‘You have filled my war torn life with colour’ - oh goodness ❤
I love you Jenny. You have given me faith in humanity.
This was an absolutely amazing interview! Thank you! It brought me to tears,also, but goodness! So inspiring!! 🥰
I love Jenny. .I began watching her on UA-cam during the pandemic, I wanted something to keep me busy. I have been so inspired by Jenny and her family. She will never know how many lives she has touched. I never miss a Friday or Monday with Jenny and Misty
Love Jenny Doan. As a quilter, I made a point to visit Hamilton, MO when I was driving thru the Midwest. A charming town and lovely people.
We love you Jenny! Thank you for sharing your story with the world!
I know you now for a few years (since 2,010) and I love everything you do THANK YOU ,THANK YOU ,! God bless you for the happiness you give to so many peoples ♥️🙏
I never tire of hearing the Doans story. You are so inspirational to your community. We are blessed to be able to travel to Hamilton at least once a year will never forget the moment I first heard of this town and all the shops. Several have been added throughout the years.
I know you are very special , God Bless you and your family !❤
Jenny you are a blessing. You make quilting is much easier. Thank you.
Watching this again. Loved this interview!!! What a beautiful perspective. Jenny… you have given people the courage and confidence to believe they can do it. I would have never believed I could have inspired my daughter. She is now far away. She came home & together we put together a baby quilt for unborn grandson. She did all the sewing, which was different from past projects. I sent the machine back with her & thought I would coach her from afar. But she shows me what she is doing on her own. She has a circle of friends who are interested.
Thank you Jenny!
Thanks for this interview with Jenny. She is such a delightful person and her and her family are amazing to inspire so many. I enjoyed this video and to hear more of Jenny's story. I look forward to seeing her every Friday and for Misty's show on Monday and Natalie's show when she is on. All of them are wonderful!!
I love Ms. Jenny and her great family.
What a wonderful interview! I love Jenny and her family. Jenny got me back into quilting and I love every minute of it. Hamilton is definitely on my bucket list!! Can’t wait to meet her in person
We miss those old Relief Society Work/ Homemaking days and sewing bees. Thank you for all you do for all of us Quilters.
I have been watching Jenny for years. I watch all her tutorials, Triple Play with Natalie, Misty & Jenny but I had never heard how she started quilting or her families story other than a brief mention here or there. Thanks so much❣️
I started watching you during COVID and everyone in their homes not having anything to do. I worked as a CNA ( Certified Nurses Aide)and came home I swore never to make a quilt, I am know up to 11 quilts. I am addicted and can't stop.
Jenny, you are the best. Thank you for all of your tutorials and being so personable.
You just have to love Jenny, so genuine
Two of the companies that do so well are MSQC and Sew Yeah. They both are strong Christian families, blessed for a good life and hard work with their faith as backbone. So glad they speak on it
Thank you God for Jeannie and using her talents to bring us such peace
What a heartfelt interview. Thank you Jenny for you and your family business. You are so wonderful to watch and I look forward to each old and new video that you and your family share with us. May God bless you always
God bless you and your family Jenny....God is so good
Jenny walks the talk without saying anything about her faith. She is a beautiful example of who and what we should all strive to be. I hope she feels the love we all have for her ❤ (I’m not religious but I am spiritual. I recognize, appreciate and admire Jenny’s contributions to her family, town and those of us lucky enough to have found her on YT). What an incredible, wonderful woman. Thank you Jenny for all you do!!!
PS - you wonder how we can feel so connected and inspired through a computer miles away. Your genuine spirit and welcoming, plus inviting us in like we are your close friends. I’m 70 and never knew my baby sisters because they passed when infants. When I watch you it’s as though I am with them, learning how to quilt. I learned in Ohio in 1999, but you have drawn me in over the past few years and make me feel I can do anything. That’s what it is - you make us feel like we can do anything. You are such a blessing to your community ❤️ Thank you!! Wonderful interview!
Thank you. I have been to Hamilton. It’s a great place to visit. I learned to quilt with your videos. Bless you and your family.
Oh Jenny You are such a blessing! I like many found you on UA-cam...I watched your videos over and over and over! I loved your family story. I lost my mother in 2019 and I turned to quilting to ease my heart. The first quilt I made was the one called on point....such a cute little quilt! The next one was a Dresden! Yes I have been addicted to Dresden for a long time made my sister one, my daughter and my son! And my 6 grandkids! Thank you so much for all you have done! You have to know that you are special. You have touched so many people, and I tell all my friends that I learned everything from from you! I am 65! ❣
🎉beautiful story
When I visited while working as a travel Nurse, in the 2010-2016, I was assigned to Kansas City. Since I started quilting in 1991, I knew I had to visit. What a type of heaven for quiltmaker. It was OKAY to pet the fabric!!! Thank you God, for helping the Doan Family live your plan to benefit your people!
Jenny illustrates how-to do many blocks we otherwise would not see and makes it easy to sew them. Wonderful person & family to have such a great quilting store and all you do for quilters.
I love you Jenny! You are such a blessing to so many! God bless you on your journey!!
Oh and another thing the founder of JC Penny was born in Hamilton. Years ago we drove through there and my father showed us the farm that JC Penny owned! It was quite a home. I have family in Macon Mo.
I love this video. Jenny Doan, you are such a force for good, an inspiration. You taught me to sew covid masks, then you drew me in to quilting. I've love the quilting videos, my journey, my quilts. Thank you, Natalie, Misty, all at MSQC.
Jenny....you are a blessing....willing to be used by our heavenly Father....such a refreshing interview....gives us hope
Thank you so very much for you Jenny ❤️ I have just started and I have learned so much from YOU ❤
Our Lord takes care of those who take care of others. Jenny does that for her place where ever she is. Love her
A wonderful saying...but not in the Bible
Truly amazing. I would love to meet Jenny and tell her that in2020 I got my first sewing machine ever at the age of 50, and the first thing I ever made In my life was a patchwork quilted bag that SHE taught me to make I just turned on the video and literally did what she did . I have been in love with bag making ever since. Thank you JennyDoan!
When my daughter and I went over to Missouri Star, in 2014, Jenny had been sent home, I was disappointed... fast track to 2019, I was stewarding at the Festival of Quilts, and Jenny was one of the guests, she really is fantastic, and I was wearing my MSQC apron, and Jenny said to me, if she'd known I was stewarding she would have asked me if she could borrow my apron....
I LOVE Jenny. What a wonderful teacher!! Someday I'm going to come to Hamilton to visit Missouri Star Quilt Company, just because.
Fabulous lady with an amazing story x Thank you so much for sharing all this x God bless x x x
I just loved this! Thank you for sharing! ♥
Jenny thank you for all you do. Your quitting utub channel has been a blessing in so many ways. During covid I made quilts for children in hospitals and seniors in nursing homes and masks for anyone that wanted them. Quilting is my hobby and a way to help others in need.
Now I keep plenty of fabrics ready for any occasion. My husband has his own quilt. Today I am binding a Kaffee Fassett quilt for me 👍
Hamilton Missouri was once known as the birthplace of JC Penney. Now there is another dynasty known as Missouri Star Quilt Company. The Doan family has quickly become as popular as the JC Penney stores. JC Penney is where I bought my first fabric. Now it is MSQC. Amazing they were both born in the small Midwestern town of Hamilton Missouri. So proud to be a Missouri girl.
Hello from Oregon. Jenny taught me how to quilt. I put on her videos on as a background noise or when I’m working at my desk. Her voice and encouraging words and stories calm my mind and feed my soul. Thank you Jenny and family for being online. You have made a difference in my life.
Love Jenny Doan, her family and MSQC. About 8 years ago I was interested in quilting, took a class locally. But then I found Jenny on UA-cam and learned so much more from her than any teacher. a
And I have more fun sewing with her and her family and friends
Thank you enjoyed this story
My oldest and best inspiration after giving up hand quilting….jenny you’ll always be my dearest mentor. Ty Ty Ty 🫶🏽💯
Now i know why i love quilting so much.... I too am a gal that is "in the moment"... If your always looking back or worrying about the future... you are MISSING the present!
I absolutely loved watching this interview and have supported MSQC for a few years now. It was so inspiring. Thank you, Jenny, for trusting the Lord to guide you on your quilting business journey! Many have been blessed!
Proverbs 3:5,6
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight.”
❣️❣️❣️
I love Jenny! I learned to quilt by watching her. She and her family are inspiring.
Jenny is my inspiration.
Thank you so much for such a delightful interview. It touched my heart.
Love Jenny! Just happened on this podcast. Awesome! You should interview my daughter, Corrine Beaumont at KnowYourLemons foundation. She has a breast cancer awareness non-profit and lives in Utah. It is October!
HE uses the computer as he uses books. It opens your heart to healing! HE uses you, the computer as a vehicle to heal!
Such a powerful message and a beautiful spirit…I am pulled in as so many other people to her warm, cheerful personality!
Congratulations
Super exciting news for you and your family.
I am a bit newer to the online quilting group(s), but I just love that God's love, compassion, and grace flows through her hands into the very fabric of other's lives
I have goose bumps listening to Jennie
Jenny thank you for sharing your story. I just found you about 5 months ago and man do I love shopping with you! Can't wait for your new book to come out!

Jeremiah 1:5. "Before you were formed in the womb, before you were born I set you apart!"...for 😅such a time as this!
Jenny is a beautifully kind, genuine human being. Watching Jenny & the girls is so comfy & cozy…who wouldn’t be blessed to have them as neighbors!❤
Oh so well said! They’re all just lovely genuine people. Jenny’s laugh is like music. Here’s a family who has beaten the odds, become hugely successful and are still “real” people.
