My way of thinking is Hey they have a tv quilt show and I don't so I'm watching it. I wouldn't want to make a tv show with my DD so kuddos to both of them for the effort.

POOR LIZ...she retired over a year ago...just wants to do other things with her family
seems like every week...for something like 60+weeks now someone gets all UP IN ARMS over it...What happened to Liz???...
she is enjoying her life! she does not have to work any more!!!
give the woman a break she paid her dues and deserves time for herself.

I think Liz is editing the knitting magazine. Check out Fons and Porter Love of Knitting.

Just read a post that must have come in right before mine. Guess she's not editing the knitting magazine. . . . .

Liz wants to spend more time with her family. I give her a lot of credit by putting family first! I'm pretty sure her grandchildren are quite young and she is cherishing these times. Good for her!

Bernina quit sponsoring F&P a couple times. When I last saw them Babylock was sponsoring them. I now just started seeing them on BYU and BabyLock is sponsoring them again.

Bernina is well known for dropping shows. They were the first to sponsor the Martha Pullen show, then dropped it. Then when I started watching quilt shows on PBS I purchased my first Bernina because they sponored it. Now they must have dropped it too. So, my next machine will be a babylock because they at least pay to put the machine on the air.

I so agree with you! This thread has gone on forever (since last June). It is amazing it keeps coming up over and over again.

I have wondered the same thing. What happened to Liz. I'm also disappointed to see their not sponsoring Bernina. I have a Bernina and think it's a perfect machine. The daughter is friendly enough but just not Liz. KGIRL

i was at the International Quilt Festival in Cincinnati last week.... one of the people there told me that Liz is ill and that is the reason she has not been on the show recently..... hope she recovers soon and returns.... wish her well... and miss her on the show. Mary does not fill her shoes!

I was watching the local PBS pledge program and Marianne said that Liz had retired and that her daughter Mary would be stepping up and filling in that spot. I think she does a wonderful job. People seem a little reserved with change - I welcome it for it offers a different perspective. I will continue to watch FP Love of Quilting.
