I agree -- I loved this format. She had a little bit of everything. It was refreshing to see different guests do the different techniques. I liked the variety. I remember Jenny Beyer and some quilt challenges. I got inspired by several folks -- what I liked is they were't hawking a product but passing along how they did things.

It's hard to do a program that will interest beginners and experts. I would like to see how to use stencils for quilting, like diamonds that actually connect around! The actual plan for quilting a quilt is rarely addressed. Much time is spent on how to quilt, but not on how to get the best look for the quilt. I also like seeing (on the Quilting today-or what ever it is called with Pokey Bolton) how an expert would 'fix' a quilt. I feel pretty sure we have all been making a quilt and get to a stage and get bored or find it isn't turning out like you thought it would. Then what? How do you put together left over blocks to make a quilt that looks good. Is it color? value? or compisition?
