Happy Tuesday Newsday, quilters!
The tutorial this week is called Pinwheel Path. This tutorial has a special guest: Missy Luukkonen of the Little Green Bean!
It’s Garden of Quilts week! This week, we fly to Utah for Garden of Quilts on September 11-14.
And then next week, we have Birthday Bash from September 18-21! We can’t BELIEVE that Birthday Bash is so, so close! We can’t wait to see you here in Hamilton!
Soon after Birthday Bash, Jenny and Ron’s next adventure begins. Join us in Hamilton to see Jenny one last time before she leaves! There is so much Birthday Bash fun planned and we can’t wait to see you all there.
Tickets to select events are still available. Jenny leaves for 2 years right after Birthday Bash - don’t miss your opportunity to say hello and see a trunk show or two! bit.ly/4dKzBQO

The girls are great but you are still the STAR! Will miss you so much❣️ 💯

[@gleehanson4775]

We will definitely be supportive of Natalie, Misty and all the MSQC friends, but we will miss you! We'll be so excited to hear from you on your adventure and when you get home too😁 God bless!

[@lisagilbert8472]

Tuesdays news day with Alan? That would be really fun and never boring!!! Dynamic Duo perfect name for Natalie and Misty!! ❤

[@SewWhittle]

I went to Africa about 15 years ago on a mission trip - it was a life changing experience. As someone said, vast beauty and lots of poverty. Best of luck and many prayers for your safety.

[@judyh9757]

Yes, I'll support your family while you're gone! They are all so talented and kind! Each one brings something good and different to the table. I am thankful I found you and your family! I've learned so much and look forward to more!

[@tarienduplessis4255]

Hi Jenny. I am so excited about your africa trip. I am from South Africa. I know it is a whole world removed from West Africa, but Africa is my home, and it feels like the whole of Africa is blessed to have you and Ron on our shores.

[@kikasnook2472]

We will miss you Jenny but at the same time happy to see a change for you after all these years working so hard and helping us to learn to make beautiful quilts. Enjoy your journey ❤

[@smssms672]

Jenny, I learned how to quilt from watching your videos. I used to look at a quilt, and wonder how to do the quilt. Now by watching your videos, I can look at a quilt and figure out some of the patterns.

[@karantoland112]

Love your Tuesday Newsday - So excited to see and hear all about your Mission to Africa. We had an older couple in our Ward go to Africa, then came home and went to Australia. They loved their mission in Africa so much. And the same with Australia. Wish I knew about your being in Utah at Thanksgiving Point sooner, I would have loved to make a trip to see you. You will be missed. I have quilted most all my life, grew up living behind my maternal grandmother and sat with her and her friends and hand quilted many a quilt in my day. So when I first found you and discovered rotary cutters and long rulers and easier patterns, your MSQC opened my world to so many wonderful quilts and easier, quicker ways to sew them up. Thank you and enjoy your mission and can't wait to hear all about it and see you when you return. May the Lord bless you and Ron and keep you both and your family safe.

[@fionacraig156]

I live in the UK but my husband works in West Africa in a country called Equatorial Guinea and has done for 16 years now. The communications and that have improved vastly. You will be able to stay in touch with your nearest and dearest Jenny. You will see amazing beauty and astonishing poverty. Africa is an amazing land of vast differences Good luck and enjoy ❤

[@brendaberberich8144]

I cant hula hoop either Jenny!😂 Enjoy your time away. I will miss you!

[@theresalevy8753]

Your backyard is as beautiful as you are, Jenny!❤

[@margaretparmelee8343]

I'm so excited for you, Jenny, and Mr. Jenny! May your trip to Africa be everything you're searching for and be full of many of God's Blessings for you. You will be so missed! Stay safe and stay in touch! Learn all their things and bring home new projects to teach us! 🙏❤️

[@juliekoone3569]

[@kathiethompson6719]

The weather is finally great in Texas, too! Breezy with less humidity in north central Texas. Thank you for teaching us so much about quilting.

[@kathleenmccarthy1692]

You will absolutely LOVE Africa. And, yes, there is fabric and thread. God Bless you and Ron on your new adventures. ❤

[@jeanielipskey1272]

Jenny, I hope you are able to film while in Africa. I do though love both Natalie & Misty, so will continue to watch like I do now. I wouldn't miss anything from all of you. I hope your trip is all that you & Ron want it to be. Bless you both.

[@annbecker5082]

Have an amazing time at Garden of Quilts and Birthday Bash

[@mariannemay4760]

Safe travels Jenny.

[@laritapope1982]

You will be missed, but oh the rewards for going on this mission trip!! Love Misty’s shows and look forward to seeing more of Natalie! See you at birthday bash!!

[@lorraineheywood5707]

West Africa has wonderful fabrics. The fabric markets were my favourite place to shop when I was there.

[@lisawallace1741]

Love watching the cats and cars going by 😊

[@MsBeadee]

Have a great trip to Africa Jenny and I look forward to hearing about your travels when you are able to do them. Safe journey

[@chrissyluna8183]

Hello from Texas Mrs. Doan. Love your tutorials. ❤

[@lindakohler7467]

I will miss you immensely. Best of life for you. God bless. 😊❤❤❤

[@Jean2235177]

My niece, Allie, messaged me yesterday that she’s working a pop-up shop at the birthday bash and will be having a business dinner with y’all during her trip. I’m sending y’all lotsa love through her. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@Jean2235177]

I’m excited to see how the kiddos step up while you’re on mission. I’m sure they’ll do a stellar job.

[@hoosierpreppingnurse]

One of the most cherished things is when people choose to form a family. That is MSQC followers to the tee. We will be here to support everyone involved with your company and family. That is what family does.

[@MARoddy]

There's the cutest little photo bomber in this video!

[@cherylporter1056]

You said when sewing is your thing, you figure it out. At one time we lived in an 8x35 trailer with 3 children, ages newborn, 15 months, and 6. I figured out I could sew on a small shelf in the bedroom if I sat on the end of the bed!

[@barbaraherron-mangel1116]

You will be missed Jenny! Stay safe in your travels. ❤

[@DambraCallahan]

You’re an inspiration to me. Thanks for sharing.

[@stepoff1277]

Double take, take two, twice the fun... dynamic duo does work well!

[@user-ce4fn4nn3o]

I so enjoy everything about Missouri Star Quilt Company! Safe travels to you both. Jenny learn new things and enjoy this part of your journey. Don’t worry we have your kids!❤️

[@WarmFuzzyVibes]

I just ordered from Missouri Star Quilts and I am so excited with the items. I am interested finally in actually stitching a quilt and I chose easy beginner projects! Thanks for being there! And I subbed on this KZbin channel just now. Have a nice time in Africa!

[@susannafreyvogel5540]

Please know that you have been with me for years on my quilting journey. You are so lovely and have raised a beautiful family. I will remember to pray for you while on your blessed journey.

[@r.barnes1287]

I'll miss you, but I know you'll have a wonderful experience in Africa.

[@kcboots51]

Thank you for you and everyone at MSQ. My mother passed this year and she fell in love with everything MSQ from the beginning and about 8 years ago she passed the torth to me and created a love of quilting I have today. I have made 7 quilts now ! My plans are to fill my retirement with everything MSQ even more very soon!

[@conniemarie2005]

I will miss you! I will always love and support your precious family! 💕✂️🪡🧵

[@rubymeister4743]

I'm so excited for you Jenny, we will miss you!

[@Dasburyfamily]

Thank you Jenny. You truly will be missed. We are all in good hands with Natalie, Misty, And the rest of the MSQC family to help keep us on track while you and Ron head to West Africa on your Mission. I’ll pray for your journey and those you encounter and the new friendships you make. May your heart be filled with new memories in your 2 year trip journey. ❤️🙏🙏🙏❤️. 🌸🩷🩷🩷🌸

[@lisah6159]

I love the Garden of Quilts. So many great memories there. I’m sad I can’t be there this year. 🩷🥲

[@connecttotech1265]

Love that you are going to serve the Lord, but we will miss you terribly! Misty and Natalie will do a great job in the interim, but I will be looking forward to occasional glimpses of you when possible! :) Praying for your safety and God's blessings on your mission!

[@LauraSup]

Hello from Arizona! I’m so very excited I will be coming to your Birthday Bash celebration! I’m coming with a friend of mine who isn’t a quilter…yet!😀

[@sharoncoy8305]

Love the Ingrid embroidery kit... Have finished many of the blocks and looking forward to putting it all together.

[@theozzieboy]

I will miss you Jenny I started my quilting with your videos Thank you 🙏 I learned a lot with you You are a veryyy good teacher I like Misty and Natalie too. BUT I WILL MISS YOU JENNY GOD BLESS YOU ♥️🙏🙏♥️

[@peggeleeKendro]

West Africa does have beautiful fabric. I have fabric from Ghana--enjoy your journey--your example is what is going to be so wonderful, especially for the women of Africa. Thank you for being willing to serve.

[@barbarajordan7636]

I will miss you so much/. I hope you will be able to say Hi along and along. You always brighten my day. Take care and have a wonderful 2 years in Africa. I will hang out with Misty and Natalie for they are truly wonderful ladies. God Bless You and all that you do.🎉😢❤

[@gailself8619]

I’m so happy for all your work and your journey. Safe travels.

[@katrinahough290]

For paper piecing, you can find plastic templates to use instead of the papers. I found mine at joann's and used them over and over to make a queen sized 1" hexie quilt for my bed.

[@jeanettepetersen3514]

Wowza! Kudos to you for a Queen size quilt of 1" hexies! How many hexies is that? Approximately😊

[@katrinahough290]

@@jeanettepetersen3514 I couldn't even begin to count! I worked on it while my mom was sick and after my husband passed, I finished it.

[@diannamichie5775]

Luv you Jenny, have a wonderful, safe, happy trip🤗💕

[@karenunderdahl8708]

Thank you so much Jenny! Looking forward to the future activities planned and best wishes for your trip to Africa!

[@sherlynhickerson7949]

Of course I will support your girls!!!! Love you all!

[@pegmiller7888]

Spent 3 days in Hamilton. Met some very nice people. Wish you had more kits made up for the various projects. No one will be able to fill your shoes.

[@marleneclark4186]

Postage, I’m sure you can receive mail. Does it take awhile, yes. Sew before you run out of supplies, check in with MSQC and they can mail it off to you!! We are going to be blessed to see Ron and Jenny adventures in Africa along with the hometown girls Natalie and Misty. We will be double blessed. God go with you all and bless you all. Happy Sewing

[@vidavidson9945]

What a lovely back yard! I enjoyed you video. Iam excited for your trip to Africa. I. Am sure it will be a wonderful experience. Take care! I am sure that the two girls will do a wonderful job, but will miss you and Ron.❤❤

[@paulasmith2510]

Love your laugh and joy. Will miss your videos. A friend is a designer who will be at the garden of quilts. Sounds like such a fun time. Happy Tuesday.❤😊

[@gigiodom156]

I would love to see Natalie and Misty have a different guest quilter each month for Triple Play until you return. You will definitely be missed!

[@lisah6159]

I’m excited to receive the Ginny Box for the 3rd year!

[@kimst01]

Will be arriving Thursday the 19th for birthday bash. Hoping to meet you Jenny!❤

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

We feel so honored that we get to celebrate your birthday with you, yayy!! See you soon.

[@joycedavidson9790]

Cant wait to see dynamic duo!!!

[@beverleybrowning3480]

You’ll be missed by so many, but such an adventure awaits you and Ron! If you put vinyl in the back of your quilt you could do the quilting upside down ie mark the pattern on the vinyl and FMQ it!

[@SandyDenney-so5ms]

I luv the pinwheel path pattern so I'm looking forward to getting the pattern.

[@rebeccasorensen7925]

Hope you get to a million strong and get to say that. ❤

[@kathiethompson6719]

For Ingrid's Flowers: Yes! I would like to be able to buy them separately.

[@debthill8285]

I made my final payment on the Jenny Christmas box…can’t wait to get it and open the “gifts"

[@joyceleavitt7148]

I love this book

[@nicolebaumann5667]

Hello Jenny. All you need is a voltage Converter and your featherweight will run. All the best. Dont forget to by an Extension cord to Go with ...

[@JudyDunstall]

Yes, Australia is a different voltage to US and I took my machine to US when we lived there and was able to sew using a transformer

[@patmartin8147]

Good morning Jenny. Where is Africa are you going. Let us know and maybe we could help with whatever you need or want to know. Living in Africa is like another world. Take care. Blessings and love.

[@Pam_So]

Going to miss you! Wishing you the best on your work & adventures in Africa.

[@sherriejohnson508]

Thank you so enjoy

[@GrandmaPatty49]

I know it’s not nearly the same, but we go to South Carolina for 2 months in the Winter to get away from out cold and snowy weather here in Upstate New York, and there’s no way I’d leave behind my sewing machine and projects! We load up our van and my machine and its table take up a lot of room, to my husband’s chagrin.

[@sandybruce9092]

We are sort of opposite of you- we live in NC but my husband inherited his parents’ home in Fulton County, NY (Gloversville to be exact). He goes up there about every 3 weeks in mowing time (house and land!!) and he does go up a few times in winter to make sure all is well. I inky go up at Thanksgiving because there isn’t much if anything for me to do except to shop at the local and wonderful quilt shop!!! I works miss my quilt guild if I stayed longer😃😃😃😃😃. I never thought about taking a machine as there isn’t really any place except the small kitchen table to work so……..! I do take my hand e,grocery though😃😃. You should come down to SC for longer than 2 months!!!

[@vickil2397]

When I moved to South East Asia years ago, I took a transformer with me and used it on my sewing machine I brought from the states. I hope you find a solution so that you can continue to quilt; we will miss you!

[@Sylvia907]

Letters from Africa might be fun Readers could be rotated

[@apiecemaker1163]

Jenny, get a weighted hula hoop. I promise it is all the difference in the world. I can’t do a regular one but the weighted ones are easy to keep up. You can even make them with black 3/4 -polyethylene tubing and a connector wrapped in fun duct tape. Someone could do a class at birthday bash making them or sell them. We made them for so many people. I’m sure there’s a tutorial out there. Get one of the grandkids to make you one. I can almost promise you that you’ll be able to use it! 👍👩‍🌾💚😊

[@hannahalexander7005]

The Lord Bless

[@janicegritz9321]

I think I would take the 301 instead of the Featherweight although I love my Featherweight; maybe both.

[@lindasimmons3167]

A power station and portable solar panels could be a good option to enable sewing with electricity. This is how I would do it as a nomad (living out of a vehicle).

[@Seaglassandquilts]

I love triple plays, maybe you could be substituted by either designers, MSQC employees, family members or even customers lol either way, the dynamic duo will be fun, too, I have no doubt. 💖

[@vanceandbonnieneuberger8881]

I remember how tall you are! Standing next to you at Birthday Bash 6 (I believe it was), you’re almost as tall as me! A ways to go to overtake hubby at 6’7”!!

[@ettalanuti7926]

Jenny, give us an address and we'll keep you in embroider floss! Yes, the African countries have gorgeous fabrics. A few friends at church went on a health mission to Malawi a few years ago and came back with some beautiful fabrics, but with a stiffer hand than batiks. I will add you to my prayer list.💚💚

[@susanschoolcraft9989]

Would love to see you do a drop in at The shop in Liberty MO

[@Kathleen58]

My youngest daughter who lives in Australia went on vacation to Africa. She went on a real safari trip and saw the animals up close. She is now on her way to Germany where she won’t be back home to Australia til Feb. Something to do with her work. She’s a biologist.

[@hoosierpreppingnurse]

I realize this is a missionary trip but if you could find a quilters over there would love to see you interact with them. See the types of designs, fabric, fabric shops, etc.

[@lynnmcentire4014]

I have a feral cat also. He will let me pet him if I’m bringing food out but not if I come out without any 😂😂😂

[@sallyseal3383]

Can you please reference, yes, one more time, the Simplicity pattern Jenny has used to make several dresses. Thank you in advance.

[@Redshandler]

Hi Jenny, Fabric Cafe just put out a free pattern with an applique cancer ribbon.

[@sandybruce9092]

Really? I just looked at Fabric Cafe and did’t see the cancer ribbon and a few of us need it to make a quilt for a friend! It’s not in the freebies page! Can you help,please me find this? Thanks so much!!!

Curious so I want to ask this question: Are you mormoms? I hope you enjoy going to Africa and we get to see some video's from there. God Bless.

Jenny & Ron will be serving a 2 year church mission in Africa.

[@bonniepincock6841]

what about using a treadle machine I'll bet Ron could rig one up! I learned to sew on one 60+ years ago, it was great

[@peggymalaski4061]

Jenny-my sister visited Africa last spring. She used What’s app to make phone calls to our special needs brother. She was also able to send us amazing photos of her adventures. I don’t remember where she visited other than Tanzania (I think)

[@ginny2775]

I learned to sew on a treddle sewing machine. No electric needed.

Beautiful weather here in Missouri.... from Wentzville Mo...lovebalo your tutorials...after Birthday Bash...when is your next weekend event in Hamilton?? Then I would have fre to me to visit.... lol 😊

[@debthill8285]

I’m sure you’ve figured out something for triple play, but I thought maybe you get Courtenay to be the the third person

[@marthascatarzi2030]

Thank you Jenny! I was late for the live but I have a question. I so enjoy the sew off all these years! But I can't find last year on the internet. Will you put it online this year, pretty please! Anyway thanks a lot for all! A hug from Italy

Take a small solar power hand tote with panel easy they are really cheep it will b power source

Are you staying in one place in West Africa or traveling from here to there? and can we ask where you will be ? and of course we will support the girls while you are gone just as we do now ❤❤❤ worry not Jenny !
