Acerca de esta escucha
Read by the author.
Faith, family, hard work, and second chances are at the core of every great American story, and Jenny Doan’s story is just that.
In Jenny Doan's new memoir, How to Stitch an American Dream, listeners will discover the behind-the-scenes success story of the Missouri Star Quilt Company and Jenny’s remarkable journey to overcome hardship, claim the abundance of family, and ignite the power of giving - all while revitalizing a small town along the way.
Over the last decade, the Doan family business, the Missouri Star Quilt Company in tiny Hamilton, Missouri, has grown from Jenny’s corner shop - with one quilting machine and two bolts of fabric for sale in the back - to become the largest supplier of pre-cut quilting fabric in the headquarters of Jenny’s world-famous YouTube tutorial videos.
Jenny is now giving her fans, the business world, and moms of all ages (and grandmas too!) what they’ve been asking for: the full story of her journey, from her humble beginnings as a homeschooling mom, to founding MSQC in her 50s, through the remarkable success and inspiration she’s so well-known for today. In this book, you’ll learn:
- How she and her beloved husband, Ron, raised seven children on a shoestring budget - and had fun doing it
- How, after a string of bad luck, the family made a prayer-based decision to leave California behind and start over again in rural Missouri, even though they had no place to live, no jobs lined up, and no idea how they were going to make 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
- And 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”.
Accompanying recipes are available in the audiobook companion PDF download.

There may be no tidy solutions or pithy answers to life’s big challenges, but Michelle Obama believes that we can all locate and lean on a set of tools to help us better navigate change and remain steady within flux. In The Light We Carry, she opens a frank and honest dialogue with listeners, considering the questions many of us wrestle with: How do we build enduring and honest relationships? How can we discover strength and community inside our differences? What tools do we use to address feelings of self-doubt or helplessness? What do we do when it all starts to feel like too much?

During World War II, American soldiers from every city and walk of life rolled through North Platte, Nebraska, on troop trains, en route to Europe and the Pacific. The tiny town transformed its modest railroad depot into the North Platte Canteen, a place where soldiers could enjoy coffee, music, home-cooked food, magazines, and friendly conversation during a stopover that lasted only a few minutes.

Louie Anderson has been channeling his beloved mom in his iconic stand-up comedy for decades - but she passed away before getting to see him reach new heights with his breakout role. Hey Mom is Louie's way of catching Ora Zella Anderson up on everything that has been going on in his life, including his continued struggles with food and family, but also how so much has changed for the better. He also has plenty of laugh-out-loud stories about his incredibly resilient mother and his 10 siblings, as well as observations on the absurdities of life.

Bobi Conn was raised in a remote Kentucky holler in 1980s Appalachia. She remembers her tin-roofed house tucked away in a vast forest paradise; the sparkling creeks, with their frogs and crawdads; the sweet blackberries growing along the road to her granny’s; and her abusive father. An elegiac account of survival despite being born poor, female, and cloistered, Bobi’s testament is one of hope for all vulnerable populations, particularly women and girls caught in the cycle of poverty and abuse.

During World War II, American soldiers from every city and walk of life rolled through North Platte, Nebraska, on troop trains, en route to Europe and the Pacific. The tiny town transformed its modest railroad depot into the North Platte Canteen, a place where soldiers could enjoy coffee, music, home-cooked food, magazines, and friendly conversation during a stopover that lasted only a few minutes.

Louie Anderson has been channeling his beloved mom in his iconic stand-up comedy for decades - but she passed away before getting to see him reach new heights with his breakout role. Hey Mom is Louie's way of catching Ora Zella Anderson up on everything that has been going on in his life, including his continued struggles with food and family, but also how so much has changed for the better. He also has plenty of laugh-out-loud stories about his incredibly resilient mother and his 10 siblings, as well as observations on the absurdities of life.

Bobi Conn was raised in a remote Kentucky holler in 1980s Appalachia. She remembers her tin-roofed house tucked away in a vast forest paradise; the sparkling creeks, with their frogs and crawdads; the sweet blackberries growing along the road to her granny’s; and her abusive father. An elegiac account of survival despite being born poor, female, and cloistered, Bobi’s testament is one of hope for all vulnerable populations, particularly women and girls caught in the cycle of poverty and abuse.

"In 1960 I was given a transorbital, or 'ice pick' lobotomy. My stepmother arranged it. My father agreed to it. Dr. Walter Freeman, the father of the American lobotomy, told me he was going to do some 'tests'. It took 10 minutes and cost 200 dollars." Assisted by journalist/novelist Charles Fleming, Howard Dully recounts a family tragedy of Sophoclean proportions.

A wonder story from the heart
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.

What a Blessing!
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!

Wow! What an inspiration!!!
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.

Making A Most Wonderful Life
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.

loved it so much, I listened through twice!
I already love MSQC already. I was excited to have the book. Even more excited that Jenny narrated it herself. I already loved the tutorials and Jenny's supportive style. She seems so nurturing and encouraging. The book solidified that opinion.
