    I hope everyone gives Mary a chance. She seems a little nervous, and she has very big shoes to fill. I think they are trying to appeal to the younger crowd. Think about it, if we don't attract the younger quilter, there won't be anyone left except us old foggies. Eventually we won't be able to quilt anymore, and then where would the world be?

    I think we gave her a chance. I don't watch anymore, I just don't enjoy watching Mary.

    I think Mary is doing just fine. Give her a chance.

    It was my understanding that Liz was stepping back from tv and appearances to sped more time with her family and grandchildren. I agree it is not the same but what is? I do think that Mary will bring younger quilters to the show.

    My PBS had a show on yesterday -- but the previous 2 weeks they had a pledge drive with 2 hours of Sewing With Nancy. I don't mind Mary -- though I really enjoyed Liz. In yesterday's show they said something about Liz's daughter getting married, but they did announce on a show last year that Liz was retiring.

Everyone always welcomes beginning quilters but I hope this is just an extended vacation or something for Liz and this program change is limited to a few weeks.

    If you continue to watch the shows with the daughter I believe that they mention she is spending more time with her family and working on designing quilts.

    I too, miss Liz, but I am grateful that there are a few quilting shows on tv. There used to be a lot more. I can remember watching: Kaye Woods, Alex Anderson, Sharlene ???? and others that I can't remember right now. I like Mary on the show and she is funny and knows her craft.
