Got past that and found she was excellent at simplifying the math and patterns for quilters of all abilities. I'm sure she started a lot of quilters on their paths with her well photographed step by step books and rulers. Her son Ryan is also very personable. Glad you met her!

She is my idol.
She worked in special education in Pennsylvania and she has dyslexia according to an article in a quilt magazine that I cut out.
She explained on one of her shows why she throws scraps over her shoulder.
When starting out in videos while filming they told her not to use the scrap basket just get rid of them. So she threw them over her shoulder.
I love watching videos on her website.
