Welcome to the Quilting Board!

I wondered how many famous quilters - quilters who have earned recognition in the quilting world- can you come up with?
I can name a couple
John Flynn
Georgia Bonesteel
What about you? How many can you list?
Ricky Tim - Carol Doak - Eleanor Burns
Leah Day, Alex Anderson, David Taylor, Ami Simms, Fons and Porter,(I can never remember which first name goes with the right surname)
kay wood, diane gaudynski
Nancy in western NY
before you speak THINK
T – is it True? H – is it Helpful? I – is it Inspiring? N – is it Necessary? K – is it Kind?
Jinny Beyer, Kaye England, Billie Lauder...the list goes on...
Ellie Senkowitz, Libby Lehman, Porter & Fons, Alex Anderson, Bethany Reynolds, Eleanor Burns. I slid down without reading the other answers, though I did see Carol Doak on someone's post. Mary Kay Ryan and Susan Damone Balch are Vermont quilters who are gaining national notoriety, I think. This is fun!
"The business of life is making memories. In the end, it is all we have." Butler Charlie Carson, Downton Abbey, season 4, episode 3, PBS.
It is like authors, I don't pay much attention. So, the only one I know is one my aunt mentions frequently and I have more than one book of and that is Eleanor Burns. can't name a single other. I did see John Flynn and did not know he was a famous quilter. I met him at a show once where he was selling that funky frame.
Lots of quilters I don't know! I will have to check them out! This is very interesting!
Bonnie Hunter and Brenda Henning are 2 of my favorites
