How true. Ask any of your non-quilting friends and relatives who these people are, and they'll give you a blank stare.
They're only celebrities to us. But they're loved by gazillions of us. :-D

My great niece (she was 10 at the time) and I met Eleanor Burns and she signed our books.

I have also met Lola Jenkins. You should attend anything she is at. This woman is wonderful and so very talented.

I went to a quilt show and met Ami Simms. She signed my altzeimer book and we spoke briefly about my mother who had dementia. She was very personable.
