After reading everyone's opinions here here's mine. Back in April of this year I personally met Jenny Doan and her husband. She is a woman to be admired. She has a passion to teach and loves quilting. At no point during her trunk show or the afternoon class did she ever promote any of her templates/accessories at the quilt store. She and her husband had lunch with us, laughed with us and told us the story of her entire family creating this wonderful website, magazine and such. In her small town she has hired 100 people to help in her business and these 100 are not her family. In an economy that has been so frigid with jobs lately MSQC has been creating them. As well there are business opening up lately in Hamilton MO. I subscribe to BLOCK and love it. No one here is judging anyone in particular whether you subscribe to it or not, that is your choice. I personally support any lqs to include MSQC in trying to help others learn and enjoy the art of quilting and creating jobs. I gave Jenny a big thank you and hugged her. She is a warm person and very genuine.
