I used to take my son with me to the Quilt In A Day shop (I firmly believe that when you start them out shopping when they're young, they are patient when you go shopping!) when he was probably between 8-10 years old. The guys in the video room (where all the magic happens) would let him hang out with them and he was always sorry when I was ready to leave. One day Eleanor Burns was there: He had seen her pictures in the shop and was so in awe, he went up and shook her hand. He was very excited! She is such a nice lady.
