Her looks have nothing to do with anything. And neither does her not having a colon. I simply think the camera doesn't care for her....she doesn't seem to be "natural" in front of it. But I'm more old fashioned and use to the original ladies. I'm also sure that Mary will bring in a ton of young quilters.

Mary really "grew" on me and I totally miss her Quilty magazine that is now no longer published. On the newest episodes of the Love of Quilting show, Patrick Lose has been hosting (for those who don't know, he is involved with F&P and they publish a quarterly magazine of his designs). I like him... he's very low-key, but informative, and really knows what he's talking about. Mary will still be on the show as far as I know. I assumed she had some other commitments and instead of tweaking their taping schedule, they tapped Patrick to fill in.

I watch it every Saturday morning on our local PBS station and it did take me some time to get used to Mary but I did, and enjoy her show. Do I wish Liz were back with her mother on the show, YES but Mary is doing a good job and Liz does come back for episodes on occasion.

I'm glad someone else feels as I do concerning Mary. Mary makes lots of faces, seems uncomfortable on camera and constantly interrupts guests. I only watch F&P if there is something of real interest. Sad.

I would have agreed when she first started but I guess she grows on you because I like her now. I haven't seen anything about her leaving the show, but according to her blog she did just move back to Chicago from DC so maybe she is making other changes in her life.

I wasn't fond of Mary when I saw the program years ago. But for a long time I haven't had any quilting shows available. (maybe because I get the cheapest cable package :/! ) Anyway, I would gladly watch it again if I had access and would hope she would grow on me as others have said.

I miss Liz Porter and yes she did at least one show with Mary. I like having Patrick Lose on the show. I am just a more advance quilter than Mary. I watch the show to learn something new. Sorry she is having to deal with health problems.
