Quilting "sewlebrity" Jenny Doan

[@linda1909]

I bought her book when I was there in May. What a life she has had and raising those kids were always their priority. She told the story of love to her was bells and whistles. Yet with Ron she was comfortable. I know that feeling

[@linda1909]

I cried as I read her book. As in many ways my life was quite similar til I met my warm comfortable husband who has patience with me

[@melissaorona2834]

When I was partially paralyzed after brain surgery 4 yrs ago & could no longer do many things I used to do, I decided I could learn to use the sewing machine I'd had for years. I found Jenny Doan on youtube and learned to sew my first stitch. I've been avidly quilting since & create works of quilted art today! Quilting truly is my therapy & Jenny is the best medicine I ever ingested.

[@pj89-96]

Bless you Melissa Orona. Jenny has helped more people than she'll ever know. IMO. There are a lot of us quiet quilters that just watch and say very little but are so grateful to Jenny. I'm happy to read your comment and hope you're doing well. 🤗

[@melissaorona2834]

@@pj89-96 Thank you for your kindness and blessing. Blessings right back to you and yours.

Jenny deserves her fame. She has worked hard and has given free tutorials for years. I learned so much from her. My dream is to visit Missouri Star Quilt Co. some day.

[@karoliyer4860]

Jenny has saved many a life and she doesn’t even know it! We in the quilt world love her! She is so down to earth and makes us feel we can do anything!❤️😊👍

[@kimmieskreations1969]

Jenny is the reason I started quilting. I never miss her Friday tutorials. It's my favorite day of the week. I hope to someday visit Hamilton. It's a bucket list for me.

[@hunterbrumley3459]

As a resident of Hamilton I'm glad you want to visit

[@linda1909]

When in Hamilton keep going east to Marceline MO walt Disney's boy hood home. Very interesting..also the town of Cameron at the 35 exit for Hamilton is a great town to explore as well. So much to do in this area

[@staciefallon5347]

Took a picture and met Jenny and her husband today! Fabulous, humble and kind. Amazing people!

[@bettymanoulian4645]

---- Thank you CBS for a very nice piece of reporting. I never get tired of seeing/reading about the Doan Family and all they've done for the city of Hamilton.

[@lanaroberts1063]

Awe she’s my favorite quilter! She taught me to quilt several years ago before my husband passed away tragically. It’s one of the things that kept me going.

[@aok1951]

Some people just deserve the success they've achieved through hard work and perseverance. Jenny is one such person.

[@lornahayes1]

I have done a lot of your work and everyone loves my Quilts thank you vary much

[@growitpickitjamit5453]

Love me some Jenny Doan. I actually taught myself how to quilt just by watching her tutorials. I've been quilting now for about 2.5 yrs and still go ,still watching her tutorials and learning ,learning ,learning.

[@cathynuytten798]

Grow It, Pick It, Jam It * My story exactly. I’ve been quilting for about 2.5 years also all because of an accidental view of one of her videos. What a great hobby for sure!

[@debbiereynolds9276]

To this day I still wake up with coffee and check out the “Daily Deal”. I order almost all of my fabric online from MSQC. First quilt was a Jenny tutorial on a jeans quilt with jeans saved from two sons and husband. I was hooked!!!! Jenny makes you feel like you “can” do it. The icing on the cake, you can rewind the tutorials until you finish that quilt if you miss a step or need to refresh your brain. God Bless her and her family, a true hard working family and business. A dedicated customer forever.

[@brendak5486]

So do I! The 'daily deal' is my wake-up pill instead of coffee. I just love MSQC and Jenny Doan!

[@beckeb00]

I actually went to Hamilton when I had an opportunity on a Saturday in Missouri. Jenny and the Doans helped this guy who always had an interest in quilting to start. So great to have a hobby that people raise an eyebrow to... Guys don't do quilting... ;) But we most certainly do.

[@sevenandthelittlestmew]

@Brendan Becker you know Angela Walters learned to quilt from her husband’s grandfather! Men absolutely do quilt, and there are some outstanding, award winning traditional and modern quilters who are men (along with some of my faves on KZbin, like Rob Appell from Man Sewing). Keep on quiltin’, dude! And on a personal note, if Jenny can inspire this purple-haired, tattooed Texas girl to start quilting, she can inspire anyone.

[@beckeb00]

@@sevenandthelittlestmew I do know... and the MSQC did do a lot of work with Man Sewing. It seems to be coming back but there were many years in which many thought that quilting was "women's work."

[@33479Leigh]

I think I read somewhere that sewing used to be a mans job many many years ago

[@beckeb00]

@@33479Leigh It most definitely was. When you think of a tailor, you probably think of a man doing that. I would say that the mindset shifted mid-century last year when sewing was considered part of housework and "women did housework." Glad that we've evolved so that housework is now everyone's job and men can embrace activities that were considered women's work and vice versa.

[@jackielam1920]

Yes, I have taught several men to quilt. My quilt teacher taught several doctors to quilt. As all quilters bring something fun to the art men have a special way of looking at quilting. One of my favorite quilters now on KZbin is Stuart Hillard from across the pond.

[@katewarner4138]

Jenny Doan was instrumental in my learning and enjoying quilting. She is real, honest, and her instructions are simple and so easy to understand. She is so much more interested in teaching and sharing her wonderful experiences about a craft that she loves than trying to peddle fabric or crafting supplies. For that reason I check Missouri Star quilt company first for my quilting needs. She is my go to person or website when I need inspiration. Thank you Jenny for opening the doors to your creative business and inviting us all in and sharing your hobby and your family.

[@hellokittylovesme1]

I went recently to Hamilton for a retreat and had the best time, it really is a quilters paradise! The entire Doan family is warm, friendly, kind and sincere. I am a huge fan of MSQC and loved that they were featured on the show.

[@melodymueller3149]

I just love Jenny.. When I finish a quilting project, or if I don't feel like doing any thing . I turn on KZbin and start watching Jennys' tutorials. This morning I watched her make face masks . She is just so wonderful. We love you Jenny . Keep up the great work.

[@OldOaksFarm73]

The Doan family has been successful in every aspect of business most huge corporations can only try to achieve. Such an incredible story that I feel fortunate to watch unfold from day one. I love Jenny and her joy for living life full throttle.❤️

[@lindalosier5989]

I never miss Jenny's tutorials. She got me started in my quilting adventure. MSQC daily deals helped me build my stash. It's always fun to watch and sew along with Jenny!!

[@heatherroy1501]

Absolutely love Jenny and MSQC. My first quilt was a nine patch I made for my oldest daughter before she was born 24 years ago. Now, pick one of Jenny’s quilt tutorials and quilt along with it many times stopping and replaying the video to make sure I get everything just right. Thanks to MSQC I have quite the fabric stash! I have 16 nieces and nephews and a great niece and great nephew and my goal for 2020 is to make them each a quilt for Christmas this year.

I've got a special place in my heart for Jenny Doan (as many do). I was inspired by one of her videos to make my first quilt. With that inspiration and a lot of step-by-step instructions from pinterest and KZbin, I made a beautiful king sized quilt! Never looked back.

[@judydistefano1648]

Good for you Jenny! When my 2 only sons died you taught me to quilt and a reason to get up. I would wait for your tutorial to come on and watch it. I tried your techniques and learned so much. I made alot of quilts and wall hangings. One quilt was a hugh"Welcome back Soldier" from 1 1/2 inch squares for my grandson. I Loved your fabrics and it made it so easy to pick the colors because of the "layer cakes"Everyone got a quilt for Christmas one year and believe, they loved them. Because of you I could keep my mind occupied in a positive way and start love sewing,the way i did when i was a kid. Thank you

[@AndysLegacy915]

Love Jenny so much! She gave me the confidence I needed to learn to quilt via her YT tutorials! She told me there are no quilt police and I had the audacity to believe her!

[@sewcrazybaker]

I love Jenny's tutorials and put the new one on as soon as I get up every Friday. Back in the summer of 2015 I even got to meet Jenny when my husband and I drove for 12 hours from Ohio to Hamilton, MO. While we were sitting in the car waiting for the shops to open, my husband spotted Jenny as she was coming in to work. I jumped out of the car and Jenny stopped to talk to me. My husband snapped a picture of us together. THAT was awesome! I also met Jenny's daughter Sarah. We went back to Hamilton the following summer. Do I quilt? Yes I do and I have for about 45 years!

[@eshellebennett]

Can you say family goals. When you are good people Great things happen. I am a great fan of the Doan family especially My Jenny. She is such an inspiration. She says when you have a passion you do what you love. You dont stop doing it. Thank you for those words.

Thank you for sharing this family story. I love it!

[@WarmFuzzyVibes]

Great story! She is a nice KZbin presence. Since I enjoy quilts, the tutorial videos she and other channels do and show really entertain and inform me of the joy of crafting in fabric. I plan to do a tiny quilt (a table runner) just to get my feet wet before I try an actual larger quilt. I bought a kit from another quilter in Grants Pass, Oregon. I just love these "small town" stories! Note: why do we quilt?! It gets our mind off of everything else while we are focusing on the fabric, the cutting, the piecing, and the color placing, and the sewing! It really is meditative! It is my meditation. No doubt that is why others quilt, too.

[@katiedifrancesco4936]

My mom started teaching me to sew when I was 9 or 10 years old. Then, mom got into quilting in 2020 and I followed suit towards the end of that year. It’s been relaxing for both of us and I don’t even know how many I’ve made to date between quilts at church and for my friends. I especially love Jenny’s tutorials and MSQC’s Block magazine, which often provide me with inspiration!

[@arethamorgan6613]

You, popped up on my feed, while quilting in a camper. What caught my attention, is the lack of space a camper has. And the vintage Singer sewing machine you were using. On this particular episode, you mentioned your quilting company. I heard the word quilt and lost my mind. So I have been, binge watching your tutorials. Ever since 11PM 3-25-21, it's now 12:59AM. I went on ahead and subscribed. I have completed my 3rd Rag quilt. Now......I want to do something just for me. Thank you, for being such a blessing, and sharing your gift. I look forward to seeing you one day and possibly take a class. Till then, happy quilting. ☺

Jenny will teach you all you need to know!!!

[@daysimayer1091]

Jenny I found one of your tutorials 7 years ago, and I was hooked, being an immigrant in this country, no friends, no car, and no job, I found myself hopeless... I truly believe that God always put people in the right place to meet others, is not easy being a latino immigrant, but now after all those years I do have my own business! yes a quilting business, now I make baby quilts and I praise the Lord for that afternoon I saw one of your tutorials!!!
