How many of you have actually met Jenny Doan or been in her M* shop?

I met her at a trunk show at my LQS! She was as endearing in person as she is on her tutorials!!

ROTFLOL! I was there today, for about and hour and a half. I talked to Jenny several times, there was a bus tour there from Springfield loaded with some really nice women. The shop was full. The line to check out was long from the moment I got there, and all the girls and Jenny were getting around to help and talk to everyone. That's how I got to talk to her several times, she kept making the rounds and I was shopping and visiting with all the peoples!!

I got all the stuff I needed to make 8 of the pillow cases for my grandkids.

Likewise, I'm lucky, too!! Only a 40-45 minute drive away and I've been there so often I can't count. It is just like . . . well, visiting your best friends.

I was amazed when I stopped by. We were on a road trip to California and back and stopped in Hamilton. Of course it was intentional and the first person I met was Jenny. I went to the old shop by accident and there she was, by herself, I told her my name and she gave me a hug. She is a very special person to be so warm and welcoming. The rest of the crowd was the same when I made it to the new store and spent at least an hour. My DH went and washed our truck while I was there just to pass some of the time. He also met and talked to Ron and some of the others. It was a visit I won't forget and I have a nice picture of Jenny and myself to help me remember.

Never been. Sigh. A daughter used to live only three hours away from M*, but I could never tear myself away from my DGS long enough to get to Hamilton. Someday, though, someday ...

Not yet, but a group of us will be going the first week in October. If you are interested check it out under the groups tab at the top.

Someday... but i'm waiting to see what kind of offers they come up with when the retreat gets up and running...would definitely want to be within "walking distance" of this terrific sounding place.. I could not bear the thought of going for just a few hrs..... I'm hoping for a "get away package" of sorts...for a few days with perhaps a class or seminar type thing! Kind of like the MQX expo I attended this year in May... Maybe not on such a grand scale, but I can't tell you how much fun it was for a "quilter and crafter"!!!!NO stress or rushing..plenty of time to wander and rest when necessary...
