Very interesting, thank you

I just recently discovered this gem and am enjoying the heck out of it. Thanks for the info.

Thank you for posting this, I love Jenny's attitude and her tutorials and always wondered about her background. Now we know. And, since she just got "started" in '97, she is a bigger inspiration.

what a great article and a nice write-up for Jenny... she certainly has come a long way in the past 5 years. As a business owner myself, it is nice when you can offer jobs to so many in a little town.

Talk about good timing. The article is very interesting, but the star quilt in the background even more so. Just yesterday I was re-organizing my stash and discovered way too much green and yellow fabric. Why not either a big star or carpenter's star in green and yellow? Just one more "someday" idea.

A true American success story! Thanks for sharing it and three cheers for Jenny and her family!

Thanks for posting. I just love her tuts.

Good for her! I love Jenny and love her family's entrepreneurial spirit. The loss of her husband's job seems to have turned into a wonderful opportunity. Kudos to the entire family.

I have made several quilts from the tutorials Jenny does. They are wonderful and I highly recommend them. They are easy and turn out great.
