I saw that episode and yes, the girl is her previous husbands daughter. He has more children also. Eleanor and he had the two boys. The little girl is their half sister and I think it is wonderful Eleanor is friends with her. She is teaching her to quilt also.

As a step-mom with two other step-mom's in the picture (two of us are "ex's" one is current) the best thing for kids, even when they become adults, is to find a way for everyone to get along. We all get together for all major events and treat each other as extended family...it was hard to work out, took years, but ultimately makes for a better example for kids and grandkids.

I pay Comcast extra just to get the RFD channel to watch her - she's worth every penny!

Of course a little girl would be fond of Eleanor Burns, she is someone to be fond of. And kids are the one's to follow

Eleanor's friend Brian used to work for her. He actually helps with sewing and designing some of Eleanor's quilts. I don't think they married. At least on the last video through Alex Anderson and Rickey Timms at E's Colorado home; they didn't seem to be married. Just good friends!

That is her ex-husband's daughter. They divorced many years ago, he remarried and had several children. When I was at Quilt in a Day for Teacher Certification Training last week, she introduced Chris who was working there. She said he was Orion's half-brother. We inquired...thought about it...then it made sense!

Holy cow! What does her private life have to do with anything related to quilting. If she had a million step kids and claimed them all it isn't anyone's business....sheesh!
