    I'm so sad to learn this since I saw her in a presentation at the Lk Havasu City, Az. quilt show in Nov.

    Very sad news. I love Eleonor. I met her and her 2 sons in Puyallup a couple of years ago. What great down to earth people. I have quite a collection of her books but didn't realize her sister also did a few. I just recieved the Pioneer Sampler Quilt book in the mail yesterday. Eleonor and family are in my thoughts. Judy will be greatly missed.

    This is certainly sad news. I had the opportunity to speak with her on two occasions , a truly patient and caring person. She made me feel like I was the only person she had to talk to that day, and took great care to ensure my order ( a complicated , special order) was handled correctly.
    I watch Eleanor Burns every occasion I can on PBS, many shows she talks of her sisters. My thoughts and prayers are with her family during this sad time.

    My condolences to Eleanor Burns and her family, on the loss of her sister. Also to all the Quilt in a Day staff on the loss of a caring staff member.
