Jenny Doan and her husband Ron, live in a small Missouri town and love the rural life. She has seven children and twenty-one grandchildren. She also has an infectious smile, and a knack for breaking down even the most challenging quilt projects into quick and easy steps.
In 2008 Jenny and her family started The Missouri Star Quilt Co and began producing weekly tutorials on YouTube. Since then, she’s been featured in numerous articles, and is the subject of the wildly popular quilting magazine, BLOCK.
With more than 300 YouTube video tutorials, that have been viewed over 50 million times, it’s no wonder that Jenny Doan has been called “the most famous quilter in the world”.
