I'm glad someone brough this up. I have my DVR set to tape all the episodes, and was wondering why the change. Now I know.
Thanks. I was hopping it wasn't health issues.
Merry Christmas to you all.
I have many more projects on my To Do list from looking at the wonderful quilts you all have made and shown. Thanks for the insperation.(spelling?)

I guess I can't handle change - and if it "ain't" broke, then don't fix it. Since I started quilting a few years ago, I've watched every quilting program I could find (mostly on PBS) and F&P made it fun and easy to learn. If Liz is trying to retire and is giving up the show she certainly is going to be missed, but I would rather see just Marianne go solo - with occasional guests then have Mary as co-host. Just my opinion.

I am assuming this is a quilting show? I have been looking for one, so far the closest I have founf is sewing with Nancy. Could someone fill me in with te where and when?
Thank you!

I think it is fantastic that the daughter is following in mom's footsteps. They will do just fine. Enjoyed that show I saw with them both

Me too and I think Mary just needs time to relax. Liz and Marianne weren't so relaxed in the beginning either. And they made lots of boo boos that they tried to cover up. At least Mary admits to them.

Glad this subject came up for discussion. I have been sharing the same feelings about the daughter replacement. Her personalty seems rather overwhelming and you are right in that she talks over many times when it would be better to listen. I know that change is hard to accept, but I am trying. Hope I can conquer my acceptance. Merry Christmas to all my quilting friends.

I saw this explained on a show about 2 weeks ago. I think she is still involved some with the show, but the excuse given was, she wanted to spend a lot of time with her Grand Children and other members of her family. I hope she enjoys the time off, I miss her being on the show. She was an excellant Teacher.

My MIL told me one had retired - so it is only the other one still carrying on the show - not sure of anyone is joining her - as I never get to see the show - but loved it when I could watch it.
