"Quilt Town, U.S.A.": As the MSQC online business boomed, the family began purchasing and renovating vacant buildings on Hamilton's Main Street. Today, the town features over a dozen themed MSQC shops (e.g., batiks, solids, seasonal), turning the small rural town into a tourist destination famously dubbed the "Disneyland of Quilting".
Missouri Star Quilt Company (MSQC) was founded in November 2008 in Hamilton, Missouri, by the Doan family. What started as a small longarm quilting service to help the family recover from the 2008 financial crisis has grown into the world’s largest supplier of pre-cut quilting fabrics
The YouTube Breakthrough: In 2009, son Alan Doan encouraged his mother, Jenny Doan, to film a simple quilting tutorial and upload it to YouTube. Her approachable teaching style and innovative methods with pre-cut fabrics went viral, creating a massive community of loyal followers.
