I agree Dunster! The same thing crossed my mind when I saw the piece. Eleanor Burns also crossed my mind because of how much she did to revolutionize quilting with popularizing strip piecing. I'm a fan of Jenny's too, but they did make it sound like last year we didn't have all these techniques and tricks. I don't hold Jenny responsible though, it was very bad research on NBC's part.

I'm glad that quilting is getting the national publicity, and happy that Jenny's company is doing well, and I do enjoy her videos because they're fun. But really she is just one in a line of many teachers, innovators, and designers who have brought us more modern quilting methods. The piece makes it sound like quilting was back in the dark ages before Jenny came along.
