Thank you so much for the update, She is a timeless treasure to all of us quilters and deserves our prayers and thoughts while she recovers.

Darn surgeries can really knock you for a loop.

Pat is one of my favorite speakers and we consider her an "honorary member" of our guild. She has been staying with Eleanor during recovery and just today is back on her own speaking tour. She said Eleanor is as feisty as ever, but it will be awhile before she is completely recovered. We are all happy for the success.

thank you for the in-depth update. EB has done so much for the current world of quilting. she bases many of her quilt patterns on antique quilts from her personal collection. i admire her for that. Amazing woman!!!
