I have been sewing since I was about 13 years old. I learned out of necessity because I was already almost 6' tall by then. At 14, I really was 6' tall so it was nearly impossible for me to purchase pants in a store that didn't have those awful cuffs on them to let down. Now that I'm 60-something, the gkids no longer wear Grammie's home made things so I started watching EB, F&P, Sewing with Nancy, Martha Pullen, anything I can to learn what I can about designing and making quilts. I live in Northern KY now so might just have to take a trip to Paducah one of these days!
And I always enjoyed watching EB on TV.

How I wish I could go! I met Eleanor at a quilt show several years ago, and she was such a lovely lady! She had a booth and her son Orion was there. She had to have been exhausted, but brightened up up with each visitor, offered to have pictures taken, chatted like we'd been friends for years. She is truly a wonderful lady! My first book was the log cabin tablecloth and Christmas tree skirt, and I made 3 tree skirts for gifts. Her instructions and diagrams were perfect, and I was hooked. Thank you for sharing your experience.
