I like watching Marianne and her daughter sewing together. Since Mary is a relatively new quilter, they really cover a lot of things for newer quilters, and I think it is more useful for all levels of quilters now. Good luck to Liz, as I know I would love to retire and spend more time with my grandkids.
On the POSITIVE side, this is one of the only remaining TV quilting shows...why would any of us wish it away? I think Marianne is just a delightful quilter, and she makes really nice quilts.
