I just love her. She is a sweetheart. Last year my husband took me to her studio for my Birthday. I just couldn't contain my emotional and I cried ,I was so happy. I think she taught this lady is weird. But since I came from Brazil I have been watching her shoes and I diI learn how to make quilts with her on the TV.
She was really friendly . And I am so thankful she made my Day so special. Love you Eleanor . God bless you and your family. Hope to see in Houston next Month. Hope you will be in the international Houston quilt festival
