About this title

Synopsis

Step-by-step quilting instructions and personal stories to inspire both seasoned pros and new quilters alike.

America's quilter, Jenny Doan, has always believed that quilts are more than fabric and stitches. They become keepers of memories, milestones, and stories; creating profound connections across generations.

By alternating personal stories with detailed step-by-step guidance on how you can make quilts for all of life's milestones—from new births, to marriages, to loss and grief—Jenny comes alongside you to share the joy and transformative power of quilting in her passionate and innovative way.

With beautiful, full-color images and easy-to-follow diagrams to help you with your own projects, Quilting Through Life is a creative and authentic guidebook to the art of quilting. It's an art designed to be shared with family and friends, crafted from the scraps of memories, laughter, and tears. It's an art that allows us to express how we feel, create something beautiful, and extend the warmth in our hearts to wrap around those we love.

From choosing your fabrics and selecting a pattern to creating mitered corners, Quilting Through Life will walk you through how to stitch a legacy of love for every stage of life.

About the Author

Jenny Doan is the smiling face of Missouri Star Quilt Company. Stitching together simplified quilts full of love and laughter, she makes quilting easier, more accessible, and friendlier than ever before. Watching her tutorials feels like coming home again. With over 750,000 YouTube subscribers and more than 225 million views to date, Jenny has sparked enthusiasm for quilting and warmed her viewer’s hearts across the globe.

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.
