The first 5 minutes or so of each of her programs is spent showing you quilts and giving you their history. The first quilts I ever made were at a quilting weekend and the lady giving it showed us how to do two quilt tops following the directions in her books. Everyone finished both quilts.
She is probably the best quilt teacher out there especially for a beginner or anyone who needs a liitle help learning new techniques. She shows lots of great time saving techniques for making quilts. I've watched almost every video in her media theater, have some of the DVDs and I'm hoping to acquire more of her templates and rulers. She makes it all seem easy.
Her personal experience and work ethics are an example to everyone, especially anyone trying to raise a couple of children alone. I have a tremendous respect for her as a woman, mother, role model and teacher.
