Hi, Eleanor Burns chooses to share how her private life interconnects w her quilting life/business. She is an incredible role-model in both: she is a strong, intelligent woman, a talented businessperson and quilter, and a kind individual as evidenced by her ability to set the past aside and embrace her sons' half-siblings. Her humanity and integrity are choice behaviors that will guide women/men in similar situations and we can all learn from them.

i have directv and rfd comes on channel 345

She's just honest and doesn't do it often. She had a very hard time but made it!!!

I bet it's her ex's child. I love her! Her "don't sweat it" attitude and down-to-earth instructions helped me so much when I first started quilting. I met her in 1995 in Paducah...actually I chased her down in the Kentucky Oaks Mall and she was nice enough to stop and let me babble at her about how much I loved her. My husband was probably so embarrassed.

Yes, the little girl belongs to her ex-husband. Take s a strong woman to embrace the child. Good for her. Yes, she does have a long time gentleman friend but I don't think she will every marry again just like Oprah.

On one of last year's block party programs, she came out (sort of) wearing her wedding dress, and later showed her wedding photos. In a more recent show, she spoke of her gentleman friend's nickname for her when she's "grumpy". Both instances were sweet, endearing, and silly...classic Eleanore Burns. I love her honesty, wit, and outlook on life, and I love to laugh along w her as I'm working away. She reminds me to not take myself too seriously :)
