I read on another site that Mary Ellen passed away on July 11th after suffering a stroke. She was in her 80's, but her age was one of her secrets. I used to love to watch her as a guest on Simply Quilts and always dreamed of attending a live class. She was such a neat, vibrant lady.

I would LOVE to get my hands on videos of her classes, but I can't find any indication that there were ever any available.
