Quilting - Front page Wall Street Journal
Ok...so i'm sitting here browsing through the Board when my husband comes in with the Feb 1-2 weekender Wall Street Journal and slaps it down on my desk and says..."Hey...i'd like to retire...stop doing that (browsing the Board) and do THIS"! There is a great article about Jenny Doan and Missouri Star Quilt Co. and her video/store "empire" - from start up til now.
I guess i should be flattered that he thinks i've got that ability in me!

I would also take it as a compliment! I don't get much feedback since I give my quilts to anonymous charitable organizations. So if anyone suggested out of the blue that *I* could do what Jenny & her family have done I would be thrilled!

Thank you for telling us about the article. I enjoyed reading it. Jenny and her tutorials are great. Living in Missouri,
I have visited their store, but not the new addition of sleeping/quilting quarters yet. She is usually visible and gracious
when you visit their store.

Quilting as the article proves is a growing business. Also proves it isn't just a necessary craft but an art. I'm not sure how long the quilt shops have been in town but we have quite a few. Some sell material mostly and some sell the machines mainly. I'm always material shopping.
