I also found it very interesting to watch the interviews with an apparent local tv show host; how they began and how the Missouri Star Quilt Co. has grown is phenomenal. There's a quirky episode in which Jenny, sitting on the floor working on a quilt, does a Q&A from viewers. It's all VERY informal, but she's as delightful as she is in the more structured tutorials, which are professionally videoed.

One thing though: some videos done by others which show all the shops, the fabric lines, the many aspects of quilting that are available through MSQC, are not well done.....or maybe we're just spoiled by pros. Way too much use of the word "stuff", and too many "selfies" of the person doing the videoing instead of the fabric selections and the stores themselves. A minor quibble, since it is nice to be able to see the layout of Main Street in Hamilton, Missouri, and the very appealing, very organized, very clean Missouri Star Quilt Company stores.
