I have met El in Nashville & 3 yrs in a row at the Houston Show. She is the same every day and is just like she is in her SHows & videos. At the Shows she acts like she has all day to stand and chat while the line grows and grows with people wanting her to sign this or to just talk with her. Amazes me! And she never stops smiling because she is as excited to be amongst all of thoe quilters as we are. I do not know how he does it.
