How I wish I could go! I met Eleanor at a quilt show several years ago, and she was such a lovely lady! She had a booth and her son Orion was there. She had to have been exhausted, but brightened up up with each visitor, offered to have pictures taken, chatted like we'd been friends for years. She is truly a wonderful lady! My first book was the log cabin tablecloth and Christmas tree skirt, and I made 3 tree skirts for gifts. Her instructions and diagrams were perfect, and I was hooked. Thank you for sharing your experience.
