Anyone who can make quilting more popular and accessible is worth cheering for, I think.

Jenny Doan is the best! Their selection of fabrics is amazing, prices are competitive, their personnel are friendly and helpful and I've never been disappointed with the Missouri Star Quilt Company. Long may they be the best.

Yes, I'm hooked on MSQC but not just for Jenny and the store. I admire what her family and others are doing to rebuild the town of Hamilton. While Jenny is the "face" of MSQC, Al, Sarah, Natalie and many, many others are devoting themselves to their vision. I believe that they are one of the true American stories and look forward to following them through the years.

This run today has put me in the mood for a road trip to MO. How far is Hamilton from Bransford? I have watched several of her videos, and she is precious. I made one of her quilts not too long ago; she is really easy to follow.

Not obsessed, but I do like Jenny and her tutes. I have purchased the daily deals before and also get her new mag. She has some really fun tutes and it's always easier to send someone a link to one of them than explain how to make something!
I think Jenny is totally loveable.

I just love Jenny, what she & her family have done for Hamilton is amazing. I was fortunate to see her in person last week when she had a trunk show in Pittsburgh. And what makes me love her even more is her attitude that quilts are to be used & loved, taken on a picnic, actually used. That is what I want for my quilts, to be used & loved, not kept as an art piece (well, I don't have to worry about that, I'm not an artist) but it thrills me to see my quilts being used.
