My husband says he needs several glasses of wine to listen to Elanor....I just keep her program on. I enjoy her tips and instructions.

Just took a class from her at Sew Expo last Friday. She is a real kick! Puts on a great show. In talking to her later in the day realized she is also just a plain NICE lady. I also enjoy Jenny Doan. Her quick techniques are great.

I bought a package of the scraps she threw on the floor. LOL. She said she'll never tell who picks them up but she believed if you made the mess you clean it up. I've meet her many times at Paducah. She is a treasure.

My husband loves to watch her throw the scraps over her shoulder. He always comments on it. A lot of what I know about quilting is what I learned from watching her on TV. She is a wonderful teacher.

Her patterns are very well written and easy to follow. Love to watch her online or on RFD TV.

My husband even enjoys Eleanor Burns. He calls her 'that crazy lady', but will sit there and watch her shows on TV with me. Doesn't hurt to have him somewhat conversational in 'quilt language'.

I am with your husband on the voice. Love her books and patterns and even videos, if I keep the volume turned almost off as that giggly voice just drives me bats.
