Please help me with my SQL Problem

I had a data:

No Str
1 A
1 A
2 B
2 B

I want to output it like this (Since I'll be getting the data with No 1):
'A','A'

I want it to store the output into a variable. My problem is I don't know how to
put every data in single quote then comma.

This is my progress:

SQL

DECLARE @TMP VARCHAR(100)						
						
SET @TMP = (SELECT DISTINCT ''''+						
		 STUFF((SELECT '''' + ''+ [Str] + ''''				
		FROM TableN				
		WHERE [No] = 1
		FOR XML PATH(''), TYPE).value('.','VARCHAR(max)'), 1, 1, '')
	    FROM TableN)					 
						
PRINT @TMP

The output of the above query:
'A''A'

(Though I was able to output data with single quote but I'm not so sure with it.)

Please help me on how to put a comma on the above output.
My desired output is 'A','A'

Please help.
Thank you so much.

Try this code

SQL

DECLARE @TMP VARCHAR(100)

SET @TMP = (SELECT DISTINCT ''''+
         STUFF((SELECT '''' + ''+ [Str] + ''+''','+''
        FROM @t
        WHERE [No] = 1
        FOR XML PATH(''), TYPE).value('.','VARCHAR(max)'), 1, 1, '')
        FROM @t)
print SUBSTRING(@tmp,1,LEN(@tmp)-1)
