Our PBS doesn't carry her show, though I have requested it. She was a speaker/fashion show person at the Puyallup, WA Sewing Expo. She is absolutely a HOOT to listen to, and has a great line of patterns that are really easy. She carries some unusual fabric and embellishment stuff to add a little jazz to her basic patterns. I don't have kids but she has the cutest easiest little pattern for a child's coat/jacket. It has a hood and the pattern only has 2 pieces if I remember right. She has lots of patterns and they're all real easy. I think she has a sewing getaway up in Canada every year. She is a high energy, very entertaining person, so I bet it would just be a blast to go to it. Maybe one of these days.

I enjoyed the TV show I watched. The ending segment was with some fellow and they made a house frame out of dowels and connecters which they covered with a cloth "House" It had doors and windows and perfect for little ones to play in.

Linda is from my home town of Edmonton, Alberta and still lives and works there. Is very active in the production of her TV show as well as doing seminars across the country. If you get the chance to attend one...DO!!
Linda's patterns are very easy to follow....great instructions and few pattern pieces.
When she first started out, it was mainly patterns and fabric for parkas and the "overcoat". This has expanded
Had the opportunity to take a sewing class from her about 25 years ago and you're right, she is a hoot!!

I just missed her show this last Saturday. I must set my VCR timer and record it.

I've been to a couple of her shops a few times, the employees are very helpful and it is interesting just to look around and see the ideas there. Prices are good and I've used her patterns a few times but have never taken a sewing course from the company. Friends have and say they are excellent. I have attended a fashion show and spoken to Linda briefly....it is great fun if you ever get a chance to attend.

Minnie, I was just reading about that show on another forum I visit. I did a google search on her name, and it appears she's very well known in Canada. I'm in Texas, so I'm hoping since you got to see it, perhaps our pbs station will carry it also. What time does the show come on? I'd like to see it. Thanks
