I love E.B.!! My DH thinks she's great too, his bucket list includs meeting Vanna White and Eleanor Burns.

All of her shows can be watched on her website, she has them all available there to watch, going all the way back.

I got to spend today with Eleanor in Melbourne, took her Magnolia Bud quilt class. She is a great teacher and so down to earth. She autographed any of her books for us and had a photo session. The quilt went together so nicely (or should I say the blocks) and I hope to finish the quilt in the very near future. I also got to see Eleanor in Houston last year at both a mini trunk show and a demonstration of one of her rulers. She has so much energy.

I love El... she is so down to earth. I have learned a lot from her. Jenny Doan is the QUEEN of pre cuts and her whole family is so talented that they just gush the happiness of quilting. A great day for me is watching videos of the how to make quilts whether I have any wine or not. :thumbup:
|
Eleanor has some great stuff, but her voice is anything BUT soothing to me. I agree that Jenny Doan is calm and easy to listen to. Her tutorials are so easy to follow also.
|
I just had the pleasure of meeting her in person and the sew expo and she is as nice and kind as she is on TV.
|
Wonderful website, thank you so much for sharing with us.
:D :D :D :D |

I would watch Fons and Porter for designs, then go hunt up eleanors method of doing the same thing cause it was invariably easier to do Eleanor's way. I hope one day to meet her, she truly is an inspiration. She reminds me of that Auntie that everyone wants to have ;) |
I love Eleanor Burns, She' s one of the most important and made the Quilting Word go round! A big, big toast to her and bless her always!
