Mary had to grow on me, too, but now I really like her. I think I didn't care for her at first because she was hosting a show about quilting, and she didn't know how to quilt. I had an occasion about a year ago to appeal to her via email for some help with something or other, and she answered my question quickly and was absolutely delightful to converse with. I give her a lot of credit for hanging in there with the show. She has worked hard at learning to quilt and her expertise shows now. She seems more comfortable in front of the camera and has grown by leaps and bounds. I remember when my very favorite host, Alex Anderson, was new and not the polished host she grew to be.
