    I was priveledged to be able to go the the Houston IQF this year, my first time....I was so in awe of the beautiful quilts and vendors....thought my legs and feet were gonna fall off that first day. But my biggest thrill was meeting Eleanor Burns, when I first started quilting I loved watching her show and she just amazed me. She is such a lovely and very funny person....the picture is great of her, terrible of me, but just thought I would share!

    That is so cool that you got your quilting passion affirmed by one of your favorite teachers.

    I met her at the Knoxville show and she is truly a warm person. Wish I could have spent more than a few minutes talking to her, hope you had some time.
