I too love, love, love EB. I have met her in person in Road to California quilt show. She was as nice as could be and very informative and patient with all the questions I had. She had just started eating her lunch and graciously put her sandwich behind her to visit with me and a friend. Also, I had a picture taken with her. I have made a few quilts from her books and have many more to do on my bucket list. I am proud of her for coming up from a bad marriage and making a go of her life. She is terrific!
