It is interesting that Bernina dropped support of the program just as Liz "retired." Babylock stepped in, and I do like that machine as well. I never thought that Liz and Marianne were totally comfortable with the new Bernina 830. They hardly used the built in dual feed foot which would be essential for perfect piecing. Marianne and Mary seem more comfortable with Babylock. They are also getting more support from Babylock educator Pam Mashee too.
Another interesting note: Liz Porter has three video classes on quilting (quiltclassroom.com) and she's using a BERNINA! Very interesting.

I truly enjoy watching Mary and her mom interact so well. I miss Liz also, but onward and upward. We no longer have any quilting shows on our local PBS or create channel, so I have none to watch now, so I guess I will have to buy more DVDs.

Has anyone seen the quilt in a day show? My satellite shows repeats from 2005 on channel RFDTV on Thursdays at 12:30 am.

I met them at Quilt Market in Houston about 10 yrs ago, they were so much fun to talk to, you felt like you'd known them forever
They've been doing this for about 20 yrs, maybe she just needs a break - I know I would !
