I agree, I learned a lot about quilting from her back in the old days of the 90s. The station in the states that broadcast your TV shows such as Downton Abbey is called PBS. This network also broadcast EB's show called QIAD along with other well know quilters show such as F&P and Nancy Zimmerman. I love her method of making flying geese because if they are just off slightly, you can correct them before trimming them down to size. I also use her method in making 9 patches.
I would call the technique of trimming blocks down to size to be her technique. Others in the quilting industry do look down at her, but I admire her since she has came up with easy solution that in the end results, you DO HAVE A PERFECT SIZE block!! I have met her on several occasions in the 90s and took one of her test classes to make sure of removing errors in her books. She is charming and is always delighted to meet with her fans.
