I have spent entirely too much time and money in that shop the last 18 months. Met Jinny a few times, she is very nice and so helpful, but my favorite person in that shop is Linda M. I think there are two Lindas, but Linda M. is just a doll, always seems to be in the shop and available to you. She will find you that perfect fabric accent to finish the pattern you are contemplating. She has such a wealth of knowledge and is also a great quilting instructor, kind of like a mini-Jinny, but she isn't a little person.
Also, each November Jinny Beyer organizes a Quilters Quest with about a dozen stores that each give out a free block pattern. I think this year the theme is stars.

I've wondered about posting here to see if anyone would be interested in meeting at Jinny's shop and if we could arrange for Jinny to be available to meet us. Just an idea.
