Kerstin Lindquist's Saturday mornings are going to be a lot different in the future.
The longtime Saturday Morning Q host has bid farewell to her QVC audience after some 11 years on the shopping channel.
'It’s all been so so good,' Lindquist told her fans on December 28, sitting next to her co-host Alberti Popaj.
'I think some of the funniest times we’ve had have been when we can’t stop laughing where we’ve had to walk off set,' she said while walking down memory lane.
'The Halloween shows are always my absolute favorite as well,' per Us Weekly.
'I know it sounds crazy, but some of my favorite memories were during the pandemic when there was nobody here,' she recalled.

'It was just us. We were trying to stay on the air for you and how we could still be together for you because that’s what this show is all about and we did it.'
Lindquist announced her departure from the show on December 21, with a video on social media.
'The time has come for me to really follow what the Lord has been calling me to do' she said. The Where’s My Crown for Acting Like Everything Is Fine?: Royally Surviving Life’s Waiting Periods author said her new focus would be making 'more of a difference in women's lives in wellness, in health and in faith.'
She shared she also felt 'called' to be home more with her two teenage daughters and her son.
Lindquist said she would be on QVC a few more times during the month of January before exiting the network for good.
'Everybody says this but it’s always the crew and it’s the people behind it,' she told the audience. 'You know what else I’m going to miss when it comes to you? Every Saturday, I got to sit with you. We got to have almost like a talk show and we could feel you guys out there. … I’m going to miss that family feeling with our viewers every morning.'
Fellow QVC hosts Jennifer Coffey and Rachel Boesing sent warm wishes during the show. Before signing off, Lindquist received high praise for her co-host of more than a decade.
'You have the biggest heart of any person that I’ve ever met and I love you dearly, but more than anything, your faith inspires me every single day and your ability to always bring the most energy to everything that you do,' Popaj told her.

Lindqvist explained on a blog post that she will be very busy in the coming years, as she works as a health coach and her StRest podcast, and a new book deal.
