When she moved with her growing family to Missouri over 20 years ago, she never imagined that someday they’d have a successful quilting business. Like many small towns across America, employment was scarce, so in November 2008, on a modest budget, the Doan family bought a building in Hamilton and started Missouri Star Quilt Company. At first, they offered basic quilting supplies and machine quilting services, but business picked up when they started posting videos of Jenny teaching quilting tutorials online. From that time on her life changed forever.
ABOUT THE BOOK
Quilting Through Life: Patterns and Prose for Every Stage of Life
Quilters often use the milestones of our lives to bless others with a gift from the heart that is made with their own hands. The number of occasions that mark these passages are virtually endless and occur throughout our lives. We look up and once again see the opportunity to create something new to pass on to a friend, a loved one, or ourselves.
Whether it be for a new addition to the family, a graduation, a celebration of love, warming a new home, or capturing the memory of someone who has passed, a quilt or quilting project stitched with love is the perfect way to show the people you’re closest to that you’re thinking about them during this transitional time.
Within these pages, you’ll find some of Jenny Doan’s favorite quilt ideas for the important milestones of life. Each project has a pattern with detailed instructions so you can make it yourself! No doubt your loved ones will also enjoy receiving these as gifts in the near future. Starting today, make some powerful memories and celebrate your milestones!
Life Stages include:
- Babies
- Raising kids
- Graduations
- Marriages
- Loss/Grief
- New Starts

Through multiple patterns and stories for each stop along the way, Quilting Through Life gives you all the tools you need to stitch a legacy of love.
