I ordered from them last month, during a huge sale they were having. I didn't get exactly what I'd ordered. I had six different fabrics of varying lengths - most of it holiday fabric. When I got my package, there was fabric that I didn't order. There was no holiday fabric. I didn't know if they ran out and substituted...but I liked the fabric sent, so I just kept it.

I have watched her videos on public broadcasting for years, have many of her books and find her instructions easy to use. She is a bit goofy in person but she is an actress at heart. Takes all kinds to fill this world, heaven help us if we were all alike. She is one smart woman and overcame many hardships to get where she is. Trust her.

In Eleanor's 25th Anniversary "love the log cabin quilt" video she tells about how "her Bill" left her with her two boys for greener pastures. It was truly heart rendering. I sent it to my daughters so we could share it together.
I think she's especially lovely and very generous with all her free videos and patterns. (But I still wouldn't go to her Block Parties - lol)
I think I'll comment with my order, not to TEAR my fabric. Probably some slack sales assistant.
Thanks for all your help ladies.

Ive bought alot of fabric fron her and have never had a problem. They have never ripped the fabric either.
Once they shipped the wrong notion and when I told them they sent the right one and told me to keep the wrong one and did not charge me for it.

Thanks for your help Pat and Rose Marie. I've loved her since I watched her videos, but live in Australia and an international order is a big deal for me. I guess I just wanted confirmation from you ladies.
And I've got it. I placed my "stash" order with Eleanor and am expecting a good experience.

I met E. Burns in Julian, CA a few years ago, where she has a cabin in the mountians there. Also she was our guest at the Oklahoma Quilt show. She is really neat lady! I have bought alot of her fabric and love it. I feel sure if there was a mistake she would want it corrected.
