Alan-Your special Christmas enthusiasm was obviously contagious for your kids. What a gift! This was an awesome Newsday Tuesday. Thank you for sharing.
Great Tuesday Newsday Alan! Thank you for the wonderful Christmas and New Year stories, the parent update, and MSQC update. Hope everyone stays safe during the inclement weather.
Allen, you are obviously your parents son 😊 when I think of your mom I never think of her as a WILD woman lol 😅 I think she’s “Bright in the corner where she’s at” which to me means she lets Gods light shine from her heart where ever she’s at and in whatever she’s doing! She is an example of how staying humble, God fearing plus willing to act when called can change the world! ❤
Wow! This was wonderful! You absolutely did win Christmas! What a labor of love. I hope you can do this more often. It was such a nice “chat”. Just like sitting and talking with a friend.
So nice to see you and your wife instilling the job of giving! The boys gifts were wonderful! The gifts that you and your wife exchanged were priceless! I thought I read that your folks did the same things with you and your siblings….love it!
Well, Alan-you really knocked it out of the park on your Christmas presents!! And I love the watercolor calendar-so pretty 😊😊 Good to hear news about Jenny & Ron.
Really enjoyed "meeting" you today Alan. Liked your great ideas for Christmas. The " Something you want, something you need, something to wear and something to read" is a wonderful way to plan for Christmas. Jennie and Ron raised some fine children. Hope you do another Tuesday Newsday.
Thanks for all you do for Missouri Star and the quilters, Alan! Would really enjoy seeing the clock you restored sometime. Glad you all are going over to see your Folks soon. Love your Family Stories! Happy New Year!!
Alan, you are a natural. Will love seeing more of you on Tuesday Newsday. Take this from your mom's videos to look more at the camera. I know it's hard, but boy what a connection you have with "us" when you look right at us. And I know I would love to see the quilt you made. Well done today.
Always entertaining to have you with us Alan. Love your humor and take on things. Your an amazing part of this companay. Thanks for everything yo do!! Join us again soon.
We visited Hamilton 3 years ago and I still have 5 quilts to make from that trip. My goal is to get then finished. I had everything picked out and I also bought additional projects. I like to buy everything at one time. Seeing all the beautiful fabrics in person is such a delight. It is so nice to meet you. Thank you❤
Alan, great Tuesday Newsday. I'm sure someone has already said so, but the heading says January 7, 2024. Glad to see I'm not the only one who keeps writing the old year. Thanks for everything.
I enjoyed hearing about Al's family and his homemade Christmas--they remember those best of all. I so want families to do this--work together for others. Have a great week.
Alan, i just enjoyed watching you so much. Your parents have such talented children and grand kids. Love your family. Been following this site for at least 5 years. Happy New Years
Really enjoyed this Tuesday Newsday. Alan definitely won best Christmas gift!! My husband refinished an old tall chest of drawers he rescued from my childhood farmhouse. One of the most unexpected but meaningful Christmas gifts ever! Thanks for a great video!
Oh Al, so good to catch up with you and your family!! Glad to hear you crushed the Christmas Gifts!!! This reminded me of our wonderful Company update meetings/luncheons when you always updated all the employees on the happenings of the company! I loved those!!! Happy New Year to you and yours!!!
Al, thanks for sharing a window into your world. Any chance we have to get to know your family is a joy. You are delightful and made Tuesdsy Newsday fun. Appreciate the update on your parents as well!
Alan you are such a special person. Love that your family made handmade Christmas gifts. They are such treasured things. Thank you for keeping the Tuesday Newsdays
What a lovely Tuesday News Day. What a lovely family. The saying "you reap what you sow" (sew) certainly fits for the Doan family. It's so nice to watch nice people. ❤🎉😊
Morning Alan: So nice seeing you this morning. I loved hearing about your family making Christmas gifts for each other. That's very special. My husband and I came to Hamilton 2 years ago, and when I was picking out flannel for a baby gift, in you came and we talked briefly. It was so nice meeting you. Thank you for wishing all of us good wishes for the new year and we wish you and the entire family good wishes as well.
Thank you for the updates, Al! Handmade, thoughtful gifts are the best. My son is 33 (he has Autism), and his handmade cards still bring me so much joy. Here is to a great New Year!! Thanks for all you and your team do at MSQC.
Hi Alan… loved hearing about your kids and New years. Funny how you and your family are part of so many lives. Mine for sure. Your mother and company are an important part of my life. God bless and continued success.
What a fantastic, heartwarming video! Al is charming and genuine and just made my day. Thanks for the updates and behind-the-scenes look at MSQC and your families.
What a great Tuesday Newsday! Of course we miss Jenny, but the MSQC Team is doing a great job! Alan is so much fun and sew authentic. I wish for all of you a great year full of all good things, too!
Great to meet you Alan! Love MSQC, thank you for setting your mom & dad up for this business, love your mom, she's the best teacher! I have watched for years. I think that's awesome that you fixed the Grandfather's clock! What a special gift. Can't wait to see Double Play! I think Natalie & Misty are doing an awesome job. Miss your Mom for sure, but they are doing great, she has taught them well! LOL I hope the Doan Family has a blessed 2025!
Thank you for sharing your heart. You definitely won Christmas! I am sure you scored points with your wife. I think you guys are all doing such a great job making your parents proud.
Happy New Year to you all! Thanks for sharing your handmade Christmas. It sounds wonderful...what Christmas should be. Nice to hear how well Jenny and Ron are doing. Always enjoy when you visit with us.

Love this!!! Great voice, entertaining, engaging, relaxed. You ROCKED this Tuesday Newsday, so cute. So much love and joy for your family just beams from you. Thank you!!!! Happy New Year!! ❤
Happy New Year MSQC. Thanks for the update on your parents. I wanted to say I sometimes fail at Christmas too. But sometimes I have the best ideas. I like giving gifts that means something, not because I have too.
It was very nice meeting you, Alan. Such a special Christmas celebration with all of the homemade gifts. I can only imagine the joy, smiles, and laughter that encompassed your Christmas tree. Enjoyed today's Tuesday Newsday. We hope to see you again. Happy 2025 to the Missouri Star familes. 😊
Al loved your video. Happy for your mom and dad I love Missouri Star. You are a great family. Your products are great quality. I wish you and the family health, wealth and happiness.
Since you asked - the bundle page is not working like it used to, does not show the path and the date the bundle closes anymore. Happy New Year! Thank you for all you do
Happy New Year what a great news day loved hearing christmas stories the clock was a very very thoughtful gift. Pleased Jenny and Ron are doing well, following them on Instagram some great photos.
Fabulous video! It was great hearing about your family. I know your wife was thrilled with both her gifts! You were so thoughtful to do that! I am glad to hear that Jenny’s family is going to see her! You may not want to leave Jenny and Ron! Take care! Happy New Year!
Happy New Year to all those at Missouri Star. You're are doing a great job. Loved the Jenny Box and am so happy with the expedited shipping. It used to take at least three weeks to get an order. Thanks Alan for all the info. Enjoyed hearing about your family.
Thanks for sharing your Christmas story of your family’s experience. Love your mom she’s been in my life for a long time. Hope your folks are enjoying their mission.
Y husband Gabe me a trip,to MSQC for Christmas! We live in North Carolina so it’s a good 2 day drive and a little more difficult with the situation with I40. We were in Chillicothe on 12/24 and spent Christmas there - and then he dropped me off in Hamilton on 12/26! It was fabulous! Everyone in the shops were wonderful, helpful and had time to even chat! Love the tote bags for my purchases - and then they reminded me thst I did t have to carry everything! At the Main Shop in the back I just filled out a form, it was typed to a /ox and I could put all my purchases in that box and they would send it off to me! I wasn’t expecting the box to show up here at hi,e to maybe after anew Years - the box arrived in 12/30!! This is the most amazing family I’ve ever come across! I’ve been a fan for years and will continue till I leave permanently! Thank you Alan, nice meeting you! They made this particular Christmas such a good one for me (long story!!) and I’ll never forget it. And yes, I swallowed my fear and signed up for the 2025 BOM😃😃😃😃😃
Nice to meet you Alan; you are truly a gem. Thank you for sharing stories about your family with us. My husband gave me a popcorn popper one year. It was just awful but the other 39 years have been awesome so I won’t focus on that one bad year. My husband is truly a wonderful man.
