The Winning Quilter<\/h3>\n\n\n\n Donna Bach has been quilting for over 8 years. Her neighbor across the street got her into quilting and remains her \u201cquilting mentor\u201d to this day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Donna \u201cloves\u201d Jenny Doan. Donna saw Jenny in Phoenix at an event and thought she was \u201chilarious.\u201d \u201cI love her patterns and her videos.\u201d Donna added, \u201cJenny is very humble. It is admirable how she takes care of her family.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Donna\u2019s husband Mark commented, \u201cI hear Jenny\u2019s theme song and I know that Donna is watching another video.\u201d He was particularly impressed with how Jenny \u201ctook a small town and built it into a haven.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
When Donna entered the giveaway for winning a lunch date with Jenny Doan, she never dreamed she would win. As soon as she found out that she was the winner, she posted it on Facebook, letting all her friends and family know.<\/p>\n\n\n\nLunch with Jenny Doan<\/h3>\n\n\n\n A private room overlooking the main Exhibit Hall was the location for the luncheon. Jenny and her husband, Ron, joined Donna and Mark for a relaxing time.<\/p>\n\n\n\nRoad to California\u2019s owner, Matt Reese stopped by to meet Donna and congratulate her. While he was there, everyone learned that Matt\u2019s undergraduate degree was in Tuba Performance and Jenny\u2019s was in Theater. Matt and Jenny decided that they needed to work on a project together, a CD called, \u201cLove Songs on the Tuba.\u201d (Road will be sure to let everyone know when it comes out \ud83d\ude0a)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhat did Jenny and Donna talk about? Well, children and grandchildren, of course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jenny gave details on her story, how her family got to Hamilton, Missouri and how the business started. \u201cThe Missouri Star Quilt Company is located on Highway 36 \u2013 the Highway of Geniuses. J.C. Penney, Mark Twain, and Walt Disney all got their start along that highway.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jenny shared that she does not use a computer to design her quilt patterns. \u201cI just have to try stuff.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Donna told Jenny how much she loved her pillowcase tutorial. \u201cI have made it over and over again.\u201d She asked Jenny if she has had a favorite moment. Jenny answered, \u201cEvery time I do something new, it is my favorite.\u201d She especially loves \u201cWhen I do something with a new block and I realize, \u2018Oh my gosh\u2014this is going to work.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Donna asked Jenny would she have done anything differently? Jenny replied, \u201cNo. I\u2019ve learned so much about the business from my son.\u201d As for the future of Missouri Star? \u201cI would love to have our town become a craft center where every woman brings a man so that they can do something together.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\nWinning a lunch date with Jenny Doan is something Donna Bach will never forget.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
