Jenny Doan    

Founder of Missouri Star Quilt; Author; YouTube Personality

Jenny Doan, an American quilter, author, and YouTube personality, has been a prominent figure in the world of quilting for many years. Born with a passion for sewing, Jenny's journey started from her early years in the 4-H Club youth organization and has now culminated in her being the face of the Missouri Star Quilt Company. The company, which she launched at the age of 51 in Hamilton, Missouri, has grown to be the largest quilting supply vendor in the United States, turning Hamilton into a quilting destination.

Doan's influence, however, extends beyond the confines of Missouri. Her YouTube channel, which features regular quilting tutorials, has garnered over 210 million cumulative views and amassed a following of 837,000 subscribers. This platform not only serves as a testament to her expertise and ability to engage audiences but also highlights her dedication to sharing her knowledge with the wider quilting community. After taking her first quilting class at the Grand River Technical School in Chillicothe, Missouri, in 2003, Doan has continued to pioneer the pre-cut quilting movement, transforming the way quilts are made globally.

Aside from her successful YouTube channel, Doan further extends her reach through other avenues. She is a regular feature in MSQC's monthly quilting magazine, BLOCK, providing her insights and inspirations to a broader audience. Moreover, she hosts trunk shows weekly in Hamilton and makes appearances at quilting and crafting events across the United States. These activities not only underscore her commitment to the craft but also demonstrate her ability to engage and inspire audiences on a personal level. Doan has also authored multiple books, including "How to Stitch an American Dream: A Story of Family, Faith and the Power of Giving" and many quilting reference guides.
