Ditto Geri B -- I am disappointed that F & P no longer have the measurements -- they want us to buy the magazine or the books. I enjoy EB, but most of what I see are re-runs so I watch a lot of Jenny. Sewing with Nancy is another favorite. I had heard that both EB and NZ had health issues, but I have not been able to find out how they are doing.

I really enjoyed Mary's series on YouTube called "Quilty". If you want a Mary Fons fix, its a quick and fun watch.

Eleanor Burns aka EB, fell last year on her birthday--near or on 4th of July and fractured her shin bone(I believe)- and had gone thru extensive therapy, and yes prior to that did have a heart problem too. If you go toYouTube you can watch recent videos of her various patterns and see how her health has improved.I think Nancy zeiman aka NZ, had a cancerous situation with her leg, but is progressing fine. I don't know if she has videos on YouTube, presuming so, everybody does!

I watched three girls on the show this morning. the only time you see Marianne Fon's is in the tips section at the end. they retired!
NZ is Nancy's Notions in case you need that. and EB is Eleanor Burns of Quilt In A Day. |

Our PBS is in its money making phase again. No telling what will show up when it is over. I don't mind the guest hosts and the guests. Never cared for Mary--she had a habit of correcting her mother. She seems to always be on "stage". Like Marianne doing the tips--in fact, the tips part is my favorite section.

Last year I got to meet Mary at Nancy Notions Weekend and I asked the question about her magazine Quilty which I loved. She had announced at the lecture that she would no longer be doing the show nor the show on QNNTV she was returning to college, she got accepted into this writing program that is very hard to get into, she was accepted. Her mom Marianne Fons retired, she still does online classes with craftonline. The new person that is going to be doing FonsandPorter with PBS is Sara Gallegos from machine applique quilting on QNNTV.

I learned a lot from the old f&p programs, but the ones with mom and daughter and now who ever she is just isn't the same. And the fact that no measurements, sizes are mentioned, but you are told to go to website for info....and that tells what book its in or what pattern to buy totally turns me of. Unlike EB or Jenny Doan, who share all info.

Shouldn't be hard to figure out if she's using the pre-cuts. Most of the videos I've watched she has mentioned the finished block size.

One frustrating thing with Jenny is she never tells what the block size is.
