Faith, family, hard work, and second chances are at the core of every great American story. Jenny Doan has one of those great American stories.

Over the last decade, the Doan family business has grown from Jenny's corner shop to become the largest supplier of pre-cut quilting fabric. In this memoir, Jenny reveals the full the behind-the-scenes story, from her humble beginnings as a homeschooling mom, to the remarkable success she's so well-known for today: the Missouri Star Quilt Company.

In her heart-warming style, she invites you on her remarkable journey to overcome hardship and ignite the power of giving—all while revitalizing a small town along the way. You're about to find out:

  • How she and her husband, Ron, raised seven children on a shoestring budget—and had fun doing it.
  • How Jenny, Ron and their children worked side-by-side to patch together a family home out of a crumbling shell of a farmhouse.
  • How their faith, hard work, and generosity not only carried them through the hard times, but led directly to the success of the Missouri Star Quilt Company.

How to Stitch an American Dream will make you laugh, cry, and say, "bless your heart," as Jenny Doan invites you into her own American dream.

An amazing story about an amazing success story. Jenny shares her faith, but doesn’t preach. Shares the incredible success of MSQC but doesn’t brag. I absolutely loved it.

A wonder story from the heart

I loved it! As a quilter who found Jenny and MSQC online during the COVID 19 pandemic I was thrilled to get to listen to this book while piecing a quilt. This amazing woman of faith shares personal details of her life, family and reminds us all of the blessings that Love can offer when you learn to share it with everyone who crosses your path. Thank you Jenny for being the kind, genuine, inspirational Matriarc of what I like to call my MSQC family!

What a Blessing!

I loved this book! Jenny, you are such an inspiration. To go through all you did to get to the powerhouse in the quilting world that you and MSQC have become is amazing! You are truly a beautiful person, inside and out. If only this world had the faith that you have had your whole life — what a world it would be! I hope one day that my bestie (who is also a quilter) and I can have a girls trip to come and see the "World that Jenny built". I have no doubt that we will not be disappointed.

Wow! What an inspiration!!!

Feeling that you know someone based one a persona, someone who has managed to bring calm to your storm, is touching. Learning that the joyful and playful woman you have been depending on is all of those things, because of her attitude and her experiences are shaped through life lessons, not affluence is heartwarming. The enjoyment of listening to Jenny telling her story has been the best way to spend my day.

Making A Most Wonderful Life
