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.

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

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 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.
