Welcome to the Quilting Board!
I had the pleasure to meet Eleanor Burns in her "Quilt in a Day" booth at the last 2 International Quilt Festivals in Houston, TX. She is such a very nice lady. Both times I had a nearby shopper take a picture of me and Eleanor together. Last year, she was wearing a frilly purple boa around her neck and she quickly put one end of the boa also around me for the picture. I also bought one of her books both times and she autographed each one of them.
I've learned so much from her, especially with all that she's come through!
I love E.B.!! My DH thinks she's great too, his bucket list includs meeting Vanna White and Eleanor Burns.
I got to spend today with Eleanor in Melbourne, took her Magnolia Bud quilt class. She is a great teacher and so down to earth. She autographed any of her books for us and had a photo session. The quilt went together so nicely (or should I say the blocks) and I hope to finish the quilt in the very near future. I also got to see Eleanor in Houston last year at both a mini trunk show and a demonstration of one of her rulers. She has so much energy.
I love El... she is so down to earth. I have learned a lot from her. Jenny Doan is the QUEEN of pre cuts and her whole family is so talented that they just gush the happiness of quilting. A great day for me is watching videos of the how to make quilts whether I have any wine or not.
I am the sew n sew my Mother made.
Eleanor has some great stuff, but her voice is anything BUT soothing to me. I agree that Jenny Doan is calm and easy to listen to. Her tutorials are so easy to follow also.
I just had the pleasure of meeting her in person and the sew expo and she is as nice and kind as she is on TV.
Wonderful website, thank you so much for sharing with us.
If you see someone without a SMILE, please give them one of yours!!
I love Eleanor Burns, She' s one of the most important and made the Quilting Word go round! A big, big toast to her and bless her always!
