I would also love to see Jinny Beyer on the show - I love seeing anyone who does handwork! She is so amazingly talented.

Yes, I got the book as well! So grateful there are still copies out there. Wonderful addtion to my library of quilting books.

I just found her ScrapLook in Amazon 'used' for $2.05 + 3.99 shipping.

When I first read the post about Jinny retiring, I was in shock :shock: . . . and then I was worried . . . thank goodness she is still going to be out there for us, as in my opinion, she is the "Master Quilter." I have always wanted to go to her Hilton Head seminar, so I guess it really is now or never. I'm happy to hear about her new book and will look forward to it

Yes, I saw the ad, too and my heart just about stopped. As long as she's not retiring!

Lately, I've been mad for scrap quilts, and I found her book, The ScrapLook, in the library. It was published back in 1985, but it's still one of the best things I've ever read on the techniques of making a successful scrap quilt. There's even a great chapter on Charm Quilts! Got to see if it's still available for purchase.

Lynn,
I saw that same ad. What a shame. From what I've heard, her seminars at HH have always been awesome.
Maybe it's just come to the point of no longer being cost effective.

I just went to her website: http://www.jinnybeyer.com and she does say she is NOT retiring and she will be coming out with a new book. So that's a good thing

I agree with the previous requests. I had the good fortune to take a class with Georgia last year and treasure the wisdom/expertise she shared. Ginny has the best color expertise I have ever seen.

I just saw an ad in Quilter's Newsletter that you can sign up for Jinny's "LAST Hilton Head Quilting seminar. "

Is she retiring? Or just not teaching at Hilton Head again?

I'd love to see Jinny Beyer on the show. She is awesome.

Ditto for Georgia. She was the one who released me to do quilt as you go! I made several that way and still occasionally do it! I love PORTABLE!

I'm a Georgia Bonesteel fan, too. I was a very young quilter when she first came out with her lap quilting and just had to try it. It really does make a difference when you quilt as you go!

Alex and Ricky -- hear our pleas and bring Jinny and Georgia to TQS for us to see

Miss Jinny's work is almost magical.

I'd love to see Jinny Beyer too. DH took me to her shop in VA a few years ago and we picked up 3 kits. Needless to say, they're still kits But they are on my to do list :shock:

Ditto, ditto, ditto regarding Jinny Byer. I'd also love to see Georgia Bonesteel on an episode. She's one of the pioneers in the industry. She hooked me years ago on quilting, when she showed me that I didn't have to deal with an entire quilt at one time. I could quilt step by step, then put it all together. Others have built on this technique since, but stand on her shoulders.
