It's the only quilting programme on TV in the UK. She's wonderful - and the shows are a delight (inadvertently)as they all look as though as they were made in her back bedroom with cheesy music and hilarious title shots. I used to wince when she threw pieces over her shoulder, but then I realised it's just TV - I bet she doesn't do it in real life. I love her teaching though - she makes things nice and simple and gives you confidence.Kathrynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16445523916405603705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7467165355495178226.post-43676028204807946732009-11-01T09:26:27.092-05:002009-11-01T09:26:27.092-05:00Two peas in a pod, we are, you and me.

This is so that when it gets put back up again and the hood/microwave combo re-installed the h/m will be level with the bottom of the rest of the cabinets. In the mean time, there are all the cookbooks that normally reside in the cabinet stacked on the floor. The items that are on the counter between the stove and fridge are spread over different areas in the kitchen. To me, it is a mess and I am starting to get the heebie jeebies, 'cause I want to clean it up. All in due time, I keep telling myself, it will get cleaned up when the cabinet comes back. *sigh* Loved EB's patterns except for the fact that the blocks turned out huge: I'm a small fiddly block person myself.Paula, the quilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17662592713610165406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7467165355495178226.post-11548466699808537242009-11-01T06:05:47.822-05:002009-11-01T06:05:47.822-05:00Throwing fabric made you crazy?
