RIP Mary Ellen
Hopkins.
---------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------
Author of many quilting books, and creator of
many inspirational quilting methods, and a much loved tutor world-wide. Her
legacy lives on with many quilters being very much influenced by her designs
and teaching methods. Some of her books
included: It’s Ok if you Sit on My Quilt, Connecting Up, Baker’s Dozen Doubled.
I met Mary Ellen down at Arawata at Julie
Wallace’s Quilters’ Barn, some years ago when we were both tutors there. Naturally
I was overawed to be in the same company. An amazing and fun-loving lady. I am
sure Julie wouldn’t mind me sharing the fact that the photo she sent me
yesterday had Mary Ellen wearing a teeshirt that said:-
“The YEARS have
been kind to me,
it’s the WEEKENDS
that have done me in”
