Make a "From the Heart" Quilt with Jenny Doan of Missouri Star (Video Tutorial)

[@WandasFaith]

My daughter was diagnosed with cancer four months ago at the height of the pandemic, when my husband abandoned us, and as I was recovering from a spinal injury. It was the hardest news I ever had to face. Two weeks into her aggressive chemotherapy and radiation her body could no longer tolerate it. Through grace and mercy, God intervened and healed my daughter. She is totally healed from cancer. Thank you Jesus Christ! Amen. A blanket like that would have brought a smile to her face. Thank you Jenny for making a difference by showing and sharing your love of quilting with the hurting around you. God bless you and your amazing family. Thank you on behalf of myself and my daughter juju.

Beautiful quilt and clever template👍🇦🇺

Hi Jenny, I'm working on my 1st quilt, but WOW, your quilt is special. Not only is it beautiful, but it touched me.. I am a double mastectomy survivor 24 years apart from 1st. I plan on making a Tee-Shirt quilt next with Sis's Tees. She passed away last year & I got Dibbies on her shirts. She fought Diabetes & her name was Angel. 😇 I may incorporate Angels, Hearts or Bingo related blocks. Thanks for sharing. I drew inspiration from this project.❤

I had breast cancer in 1995 so I have been cancer free for 35 years now. It is so important to know that people around you support you, love you and pray for you. Thank you for bringing awareness to this. It's so important for women to get mammograms. It was the only way they found mine. God bless you. I love you, your family and your videos. Please keep it up.

[@petmomful2260]

I don't get mammograms anymore. Studies show that by the time the cancer is seen on the mammogram, it has already spread. It does not save lives. They stopped recommending them in Canada because of this. IMHO, it is just big business. Just like drinking milk and taking calcium for strong bones. Do you know that drinking cow's milk actually contributes to osteoporosis? It is so acidic it actually pulls calcium out of your bones to return your body to an alkaline state. Research it if you don't believe me. Just remember, medicine is big business. They will sell you anything. Do your own research and make your own decisions. Doctors have really hurt me in the past, and I don't allow it anymore. Do your research, ladies!! The solution is a very healthy diet of plant based foods. You would be surprised at how healthy you can be if you stop just doing whatever the dr. says, and stop eating animal products! I recommend, go to dr.mcdougall.com and find out about a healthy vegan diet. Make your own decisions after doing your own research!! Then if you decide to get a mammogram, at least you are informed. Just my two cents worth!!

[@eileenmeyers6080]

@@petmomful2260 sorry you feel that way. But a mammogram was the only way they found mine! I trust my doctor completely...she has never steered me wrong and always informs me of all risks, benefits, alternatives etc. Please don't mislead women. As to the milk issue...I have never seen any research saying milk was bad for you unless you have an allergy to it. Also other research has shown that a plants only diet is not a healthy one either. I agree that people should do research on anything they are concerned about but don't just look at one study or opinion. And to tell people to ignore their doctor's is very irresponsible in my opinion. I pray you never get breast cancer because of your failure to get a mammogram.

I’m a beginner quilter and have only been sewing for a little over a year but I dove right in so I could make a quilt. I did make some bowl cozy’s for everyone as Christmas gifts but then went right back to quilting. I just finished my very first quilt, it has lots of mistakes but I’ve learned from them and I know my second quilt will be so much better. I appreciate your tutorials more than I could ever put into words! Being able to follow along, pause when I need to and the capability of writing down the directions needed when cutting the fabric. I only wish your older videos were easier to find, like maybe you could split them into playlists so they could be easily found. Thank you ALL so very much for coming together and getting these tutorials online so beginners like myself have a much better chance of being successful. I have bought a ton of everything from your store and pray I live long enough to use it all. I have so many ideas but only so many hours a day! Thanks again to the entire team at MSQC!! ❤️🙏 love and prayers always for all of you and your families.

[@lafinbrat765]

Beautiful quilt ... my Pastors wife was diagnosed with breast cancer a few months ago and she now has COVID19.. I would love to make something like this for her. Anyone reading this please keep Annette Jordan in your prayers. Thank you... God bless 💗🎗💗

[@lesliewagoner4856]

My sister in law had breast cancer and words and prayers do matter. I will say a prayer that your Pastors wife be healed of these afflictions and that God's healing hands restore her health, that her family feel his love.

[@alleynehardaker8155]

Here in Ontario 🇨🇦, we have an organization called Victoria’s Quilts. The members of this group raise funds, buy fabric, and make quilts for people suffering from Cancer. There is no charge for these quilts. Over the years, I have given them the names of people who could use a quilt. Last year when I underwent a double mastectomy one of our Guild members gave my name and a quilt was donated to me. I used that quilt everyday. The love that came from this quilt was truly amazing.

[@rrmother3748]

Oh I love this idea!! Anyone know of something similar in the US?

[@sullysmom5050]

I’ve met my 5 yr anniversary breast cancer free in July. Thank you Jenny for promoting love for all breast cancer patients/ fighters/ survivors. Please get your mammogram! Bless y’all.💕

[@cynthiacook1985]

I'm a survivor and pink is my favorite color 💖 win, win.

[@rachealmason1847]

I love this quilt, everything Jenny says about it and the story she tells at the end of the video. When my darling partner was diagnosed with cancer, I made him a huge quilt. It was filled with so much love for him and making it was also such a big help to me while he was in hospital and it got me through some very long and dark days as I could sew and sew and sew and not dwell on the bad things. He’s well again now, but we use the quilt every day. Thank you Jenny x

[@gracieluflower]

I've said this before and I'll say it again... How can ANYBODY down vote one of Jenny's videos?! Ugghhh.. Jenny, thank you so much for always sharing your beautiful heart and your amazing talent with us.

[@sheilacripps9340]

I think the same way about a lot of the great video’s I watch on KZbin, and I see the thumb down. I guess there are some people who are just never really happy or maybe, they’ve not got their glasses on and mistake the thumb direction? Just a little positive thinking on my part there. :)

[@littleprairiepurl5175]

This made me tear up and cry. I love the quilt, but especially seeing your big heart shine through. In March, just as Covid was starting, I went into cardiac arrest (we still don't know why). I almost died - the only reason I lived was because my husband was home to perform CPR while waiting for the paramedics. While I was recovering, I had no idea that a group of my friends were arranging a gift basket for me. In that basket was a handmade quilt. I cherish that quilt and use it every day. Handmade equals love.

[@eleanorlevri1306]

This is why we LOVE YOU JENNY!💝

[@KIMOCO01]

What a beautiful video. The quilt is secondary to the message Jenny shares throughout. Xoxo

[@lauramiddleton2709]

Jenny this video touched my heart. I lost my mother to cancer and so many loved ones. The emotion you had at the end was teary-eyed but from the heart. You have a gem for a heart.

[@lindaschenk1814]

I have hit my 20 yr anniversary! Yea!

[@carolegroom5161]

What a beautiful gift for the lady’s who have cancer. I can honestly say I know they feel as I’m fighting it myself. Good luck to all who are watching this tutorial. God be with us all.

[@jenifferfoster4312]

I am a women of God and I hope this doesn't put you off, but God has put you so very heavy on my heart right now!!! He is leading me to pray for YOU Jenny...... I can feel why in my soul, but my heart is at peace, you will be ok, and blessed in all that you walk through. You will be alright through whatever may come, you are not walking alone.... I will do what the Lord has lead me to do and pray for you now, today and everyday moving forward... God bless you for all you do for all of us out here. YOU have helped me feel less alone in my sewing/quilting and you bring such a joy to my life, learning from you, with your passion to create and give to others, I now have the same passion to create and give too.. ☺️. God bless you, much love and prayers from Jen I'm Bakersfield CA.

[@patriciamcgarr3183]

Thank you for the beautiful pattern and technique. And thank you even more for sharing such a personal and lovely moment of connection with the gift of love between two friends. There is indeed great power in encouraging words, and great power in friendship and love. God bless you, Jenny.

[@shirenen8807]

Thank you Jenny. What a Precious, Thoughtful quilt. It will mean so very much to anyone receiving one. It seems, unfortunately, that so many of us have been touched by Someone that has been stricken with cancer. To be able to present this quilt to that person would be like giving them a giant HUG!! It would be Full of Love and Caring that they could wrap around themselves to bring them comfort. So Very thoughtful.

Aww Mrs. Jenny! I love you and I love all that you and the MSQC has brought to my life these past five years. I have made quilts for friends with Lupus, Colon Cancer, sadness, babies and just for pure joy of my loving them. I made your basket of flowers quilt for my sweet Momma while she was in rehab after her stroke. She passed away shortly after that, but she loved the quilt. Thank you Jenny! I hope I never have to make this quilt for friend because of cancer, it I know where to look if I need it. I pray God continues your blessings! 😙
