When I first watched Eleanor, I thought she was a little crazy, she called her pins, "magic pins." Riiiiight. But when I was interested in quilting, my mom would watch the technique on the show, she'd try it and then teach me. Eleanor does make it seem easy and she does a WIDE variety of quilts, not just one style or fabric.
I love quilt in a day because I make donation quilts and I want to make quilts that look and wear nice and can be made easily, gives me more time to make more, I love the rules for the contest, and I love that there are ppl like you out there to make days so much nicer!!!!!! Good luck everyone and have a perfect day God bless <3 [[hugs]]
I love Eleanor's sense of humor. She cracks me up!! Always something new to learn from her. Thanks!
Fabulous give-away. Lucky you to be so close to the shop too. I had the pleasure of taking a workshop from Eleanor a couple of years ago. Enjoyed it immensely.
I appreciate how she makes things clearer and easier for new quilters.

Those fabrics are so delicious....
I love Eleanore she is so much fun.
Honestly . . . I'm fairly new to quilting and had never heard of Quilt in a Day till this post, so I went and liked the Facebook page and then went to the QIAD homepage. I loved that she had suggestions of patterns/books for beginning quilters! She comes across as very nice and willing to help. I'm excited about the BOM on the FB page!
Eleanor has a great book on making Lone Star Quilts using strip piecing! I've made two this way!!
What's not to like? For a busy person, a quilt in a day is awesome!
I love how she shows us how easy it is to put quilt tops together, I record her show as it comes on at 9:30 PM and I was forgetting to watch---so now I watch when I want and can go back if I didn't understand something. Then that fabric is so Pretty.
thanks for the heads up on the BOM. yet another "to do" item for my quilt list :)
Eleanor burns is from my part of the country. What a great giveaway.
Eleanor's Log Cabin Quilt in a Day was the first quilt I made after learning to quilt and I jumped in with both feet - I made it king sized! Eighteen years later and it's still one of my favorites. Nyla-Jean, Kingston, Ontario
I love how Eleanor makes the instructions easy to follow and fun to make! Her fabrics are beautiful as well and coordinate wonderfully together or easy to match with other fabrics.
This giveaway is so AWESOME - I'd love to win it because I'm working on the first "free" block. What I like about Eleanor Burns is that she makes putting together a quilt SO easy and fun. I feel in love with her methods back in the late 80s and I'm so glad she's still quiltin' away!!
Eleanor Burns always has such clear instructions. Her show was the first quilting show I ever saw.
Quilt in a day is my new favorite quilting website!!! Love the giveaway!
I love how she has helped loads of quilters by simplifying piecing. Brilliant!!
Thanks for the chance to win!

I love Eleanore Burn's personality and style. She is fun and whimsical. Just a delight!
I love the fact that you will be teaching classes at "Quilt in a Day" shop, how lucky you live so close. I just wish that I lived close enough to visit. (LOL)Thank you for sponsoring this giveaway.
Love the quilt!!!! and the batiks are beautiful . have not played with them too much yet but would be thrilled to have some to try! wow. so lucky she is close to you!!
Eleanore has a great sense of humor and easy teaching style. P.S. Thanks for the chance to win! Love giveaways...
This is a wonderful giveaway. Eleanor is a lot of fun to watch and makes things simple.
I am new to quilting, so I am not familiar with Quilt in a Day, but I have checked out their website and am so glad I did! Thanks for the giveaway!
wow! great fabrics. Eleanor is such a quilt rock star!
I love Eleanor and Quilt in a Day. Her books and patterns are easy to understand. Thank you!
I'd never seen her before, but free patterns area always good when you're just getting into quilting.
Our guild is lucky enough to have Elenor's Sister, Pat Knochel, speak each year. Pat was our speaker last month and if you get the chance, she is a HOOT!!!! I can just imagine what Elenor would be like in person.
Any who, I love QIAD.
Love the Quilt in a Day community on the QIAD website. SO many great ladies (and gentlemen) sharing ideas, tips, pictures, the love of quilting and more! If you haven't checked it out yet - give it a try :)
I love Elenors teaching - she makes it soooo easy. I am much more confident now.
Her enthusiasm is contagious and always makes me smile when I watch her videos. She makes everything she does look so easy. I love it when she says, "Pedal to the metal."
I love Eleanor's way of making everything fun and easy
Tips, Tips, Tips... that is what I love about "Quilt in a Day"... anything to make the steps quicker and more efficient...
Thanks much..
Karen
Twenty four years ago, I joined others at Lolly's Fabrics in Shipshewana, Indiana and we completely pieced our own log cabin quilts, using Eleanor's Quilt-in-a-Day book! From fabric prep to sewing to potluck luncheon to new friendships - I still have warm memories of my day in Amish country!
I love that she wants to make everything accessible to beginners!
Wow!! She is such a great teacher and makes it look easy and fun. Awesome giveaway.
I've been a fan of Eleanor's for a very long time, more than 20 years. I am constantly amazed at how well written her books and patterns are. She is the first person I ever knew to tell you which way to press your blocks!
EB...my hero and batiks...cant get ENOUGH! I am not usually very lucky on drawings, but crossing my fingers and toes and eyes on this one :)
Well. /blushes/ I do not know who Eleanor is but A)I love that she is giving this away and B)I will go check out the link right now!
Thanks for a chance to win!
How exciting to be near Eleanor Burns' shop....and to be teaching there in 2012! She is fun and bubbly and makes you want to quilt and have fun doing it. Great giveaway!
Love Eleanor burns books directions are clear even for a beginner. Would love to win this package!
I love the relaxed attitude that is Eleanor Burns' trademark. We all need a little more of that.
I love that Eleanor Burns breaks quilting down into easy steps that even a beginning can follow. I learned a lot of what I know about quilting from her shows & books.
I do hope this is only going through once. I love Eleanors books the first one is the most used Log Cabimn quilt in a Day then still stripping and egg money and a couple of others, This would be a wonderful gift to win,

I love Eleanore's directions...they are very clear, and very easy to follow!! I have recommended her books to several people who wanted to make a quilt but didn't know the first thing about quilting - no one project was put away (UFO's)because they didn't understand what to do, or it took too long!!
Opps, I don't think that worked. I like batiks alot. I like Elenor's smiley face. I like how she just throws fabric on the floor. thanks, kathy
I have several of her books. She has perfect instructions and is always cheerful.
I'm on my way over to start the quilt along. I love Eleanor's show. Love the way she tosses those scraps over her shoulder! And I love the way she makes those difficult looking patterns easier.
Thanks Julie - and it's good to have you back.
How lucky for you to be so close to Eleanore's shop. I like to watch her shows and get a kick out of her throwing scraps over her shoulder.
lsandes@comcast.net
I bought 2 quilt-in-a-day patterns before I ever started quilting - and they helped stoked my determination to learn this wonderful craft. Thanks for all the great chances to win!
I hadn't really heardbof Eleanor until I read this post so I'll be looking into that. The Quilt in a Day sounds interesting and I'll probably be joining that. Thanks for the opportunity to win this fantastic giveaway.
Oh, my goodness.....what an awesome giveaway!!! What I love about Eleanor Burns is her great sense of humor - and her easy to follow patterns. I chuckle every time I see Eleanor throw fabric scraps over her shoulder...yup, every time!!
I love her TV show. It is so much fun to watch, too. I have visited her shop in San Marcos and got to see the 'stage' where they film the show. I really like her upbeat personality. Thanks for the giveaway.
I like Quilt in a Day's TV show. I have watched it many times with my mother. Thanks for the contest and chance to win.
I love Eleanor Burns! Her books and videos are wonderful, and easy to follow and execute. Her tools are the best, and her shop is a wonderland! She is one of the nicest, and talented ladies in the quilting world. Thanks for the super giveaway!
She taught me to quilting. I watched her show, bought her books and made many quilts in a day. I learn chain sewing, rotary cutting and to have fun at quilting. Thank you Ms Burns
I LOVE Eleanor's smile! She inspires with that famous grin of hers. I learned to piece and quilt from one of her books years ago. The title of "Queen of quilting" is so very correct for this wonderful lady! I am so envious of your closeness to her store! :)
Eleanore's instructions are always so clear and easy to understand. The Quilt In A Days books have excellent illustrations and I like the fact that yardages are given for completing different sizes of quilts.
What I love about Eleanor is the way she just tosses her scraps over her shoulder! She is so much fun to watch..such a great teacher.
I really like watching Eleanor Burns on the local PBS station. It was through her that I stretched myself with some new blocks. I have also bought fabric online from the store and have always been pleased with it. Thanks for the chance to win...
I think her patterns just look do-able there are styles for everyone.
I have watched her shows and she has so much energy and so fun to watch, she really gets you motivated to quilt.
Debbie
What an awesome color match for the quilt! Eleanor is my hero since I first saw her toss clippings over her shoulder. :)
what a great giveaway! I love Elenor Burns, she is so much fun to watch and she makes things look easy. I have several of her books

Quad makes gorgeous quilt patterns that are easy to make. And the southern California store is fun to shop at.
Julie ~ What a great genrous give away from Eleanor Burns!! What I like about Eleanor Burns is her very thorough teaching style especially in "live" classes & on PBS TV. She never assumes that you know what she is talking about in cutting or sewing a quilt block yet her manner of doing this never insults the advanced quilter. I also appreciate the many quilt-in-a- day rulers she has designed to go with her techniques that make quilting so easy & so accurate!! Penny
Great quilt patterns easy to make.
I love Eleanor for being as funny as she is talented!
i love the way she explains her patterns and the cutting and chain pircing
I have just found reference to this Eleanor Quilt in a Day on YouTube, and now I see her here! I liked her on facebook and am signed up to get the patterns now. I love to see what others have done and how they use different colors. Wonderful giveaway!
Thank you!
I love Eleanor Burns -- Love how she makes beautiful quilts, and makes them simple!! What a great give-away!! Thanks!
her patterns are great, easy to follow and fun to work.
Eleanor is a great teacher!!!
Eleanor has such clear instructions and makes everything seem so easy. She is a real inspiration.
I love how clear her instructions always are. Thanks for the giveaway!
Thanks for introducing me to Eleanor and Quilt in a Day! I love her patterns! They are so beautiful! I especially like the Pumpkin Grins Pattern! Thanks for a chance to win this beautiful fabric! :)
Hi, I love Eleanor Burns' clear explanations of quilting techniques, her fun sense of humor, and all her great World War II stories for her Victory Quilt segments. Also love both Quilt in a Day websites, as the wonderful customer service members are really kind and helpful, and the fabrics I ordered are so beautiful and luckily available there (since they weren't available at my local stores). Thanks very much for this contest!! :-)
Thanks for the terriffic giveaway. Eleanor Burns has the best interviews with designers. Ms. Burns has some pretty nice quilt patterns too.m
I love Eleanore Burns and her sense of humor and her can do attitude towards us who are beginner quilters. She makes it possible for us all to learn how. And every one I know "has learned how" to quilt from her books and shows. I only wish I lived closer to her. WE live in the Northwest. Eleanore come visit Oregon! We all love you!
I've seen her little "shows" at the International Quilt Festival, and her energy is catching. Her books are the best written ever, with such simple clear directions. Other pattern writers could sure take some lessons from her style and step by step directions.
Thanks for a chance to win this marvelous collection of fabrics.
Would love to win the beautiful batiks. I have several Eleanor Burns books and enjoy her teaching methods. thanks.
I learned to quilt by using Quilt in a Day! The clear instructions were easy to follow and gave me my first successful quilts.
I love the variety of quilt blocks available on the Quilt in a Day website!
I like Eleanor Burns's enthusiasm, and the way she and her sons worked together to create the Quilt In A Day "empire".
Thanks for the giveaway.

I love watching Eleanor Burns show on PBS and think it's so funny that she throws her scraps over her shoulder onto the floor. This is a great giveaway!
I love that she makes seemingly difficult quilts accessible to us all, in a day. Awesome.
I love Eleanor Burns patterns and rulers, I still have her flying geese ruler tis one of my first quilting things I ever bought :)
I really like the online BOM.
I like how she has so much energy and fun. Thanks.
I love her enthusiasm for quilting!
I love Eleanors flying geese method. Her fabrics are a good value and quality. Service is excellant too.
i first "met" Eleanor when I wanted to make my first attempt at a quilt and wanted to learn how to make flying geese :) I would love to win this gorgeous set...thanks for the chance!!
WOW Awesome giveaway! I love Eleanor Burns because she makes me think I can accomplish anything. She makes projects very user friendly.
What's not to love about someone who encourages us to sew everyday and at the end have something beautiful to show for it.
Love her books and the quilt in a day idea. Now I just need the fabric, time and money to make the quilts.
I tape Eleanor's shows and watch her over and over on how to do a technique. I will never go back to the Old Hard way of quilting. Thank you, Eleanor!
Being new to quilting and having just found out about Eleanor and Quilt in a day from your website, I hopped over straight away and printed out the first free block pattern. The instructions are so well written and I'm looking forward to having a go at this this block. I also love Batik fabrics and the colour way of the sample quilt is gorgeous!
LOL I tape her episode on my DVR and I like how she gives some history behind the blocks and, her quirky sense of humor. I also love how she just throws the scraps on the floor!
Eleanor Burns' personality is what stands out about her, but at her website is't her customer service. It's the best!!!
Thanks again for another lovely giveaway!
Eleanor is the queen of quilting!!! I dearly love to watch her show. Besides giving the easiest to follow directions, her show gives a history lesson with a dash of humor. Her story is a testimony to the hard work and perseverance of a strong woman.
I love Eleanor's Night and Day block. It looks so complicated, yet it is easy to do. She is also a bubbly, fun person. Eleanor is one neat lady!
ELEANOR BURNS PRODUCTS ARE SUPER EASY AND FUN, LOVE EM. THE KIT IS ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS. SOMEONE IS GOING TO BE VERY HAPPY
some quilter is going to be very happy. love eleanor burns products because they are easy ant totally fun!
I'm a beginner quilted, and everywhere I go, I am told to try an Eleanor Burns Quilt-in-a-day! I can't wait to try my first one! So many pretty patterns to choose one! I hope I'll do a great job!
I was lucky enough to see Eleanor Burns in person. She has such a fun, energetic, enthusiastic personality. Her patterns are so easy to follow for all levels of quilters.
Oh my heavens, I think I would pass out if I won this one! I absolutely love batiks! And as for Eleanore Burns and the Quilt in a Day, I have to say that I adore the bright and vivid colors she used in the quilt, and that she's making it available free, because that means I can afford it! :)
I attended the Quilt-in-a-Day teacher's training many years ago and had a ball! My "final" (we had to present a technique, complete with samples, in front of a camera) was less than a riveting performance, but I DID learn the importance of delivering clear, step-by-step instructions. We had a lovely graduation dinner at Eleanor's home, complete with Pomp and Circumstance and a diploma. And I AM a quilt teacher now!
Oh, and awesome giveaway, by the way!
I love the idea of a Facebook bom. Club ... how fun. Thanks for always sharing new shops!
I love her attitude. I don't think she has every had a bad day. She is a joy to watch and so easy to learn from.
I love the look of this quilt along. now i will go and join up. some of those are blocks i have long wanted to try but was too chicken to do. now is my time...
Eleanor is the best. If I won those batiks I would be "over the moon" ! So beautiful. Love you too Julie!
Is eleanor burns related to mr burns on the Simpsons?
I have one of her books and she is fabulous!!!
I love the wonderful instructions and great quilt designs. My first quilt book ever was Jewel Box Quilt and it really inspired me.
Judy W
My first quilt was from the Eleanor Burns Log Cabin Quilt in a Day book and it's still my favorite after all these years!
LOVE Eleanor Burns!! I have made her Underground Railroad quilt, which is one of my favorites. Her directions are so clear and easy...pretty awesome!! And thank you for all these amazing giveaways this week, Julie! You are pretty amazing yourself! :o)
I love that her directions are easy to follow. So many aren't.
I've never heard of either one but I'm off to do some research to find out more!!! Thanks for the chance to win!
I enjoy Eleanor's enthusiasm and cheerfulness. I always feel better after having heard Eleanor.
I'm happy to discover this web site as it seems full on helpful tips.
Eleanor is encouraging and enthusiastic!
My first quilt was a Quilt in a Day pattern. I like visiting her stand when she comes to the Lancaster, PA quilt show.
I love the honesty and openness that Eleanor exudes in her programs, along with her stories. She is so inspiring!
Eleanor makes quilting easy and fun.
What an incredible giveaway! What I like about Eleanor Burns is that she has stayed true to her mission statement of 'teaching new quilters' or something like that. I think she has been truly innovative in making quilting accessible and unintimidating to new quilters, and keeps quilters loyal to her because we know her projects come together quickly when we just don't have the time or brainpower to a fiddly, detailed project. Kuddos to Eleanor for blazing the path.
What's not to like about Eleanor... she is the Queen of Quilting! Awesome giveaway, thanks so much :)
I love Eleanor Burns' style of "teaching" quilting! So helpful!!
She makes everyone feel special no matter who you are.
I love everything about EB! So fun!

I am also a newbie to the quilting world, but can not wait to read about and follow Eleanor ! By the comments , sounds like she is a great teacher:)
Eleanor is the bomb when it comes to easy quilting techniques! I'm watching her show, Quilt in a day, right now! waving :)
She makes me smile---makes things simple and fun!
My mom has always loved Eleanor Burn's quilting. She saw a quilt on the back of a quilting book from Eleanor, that she had to make. So I finally found her book just on that quilt. We just finished getting all the fabric to make it.
Awesome fabric giveaway.
I love her energy and how she teaches super clear!
I adore Eleanor! I first saw her on my local PBS station in the late 1980s. I was instantly drawn to her. In the particular episode I viewed, Eleanor made a quilted Santa. She inspired me to make one, too. To this day, Eleanor is still a source of inspiration!
Eleanore has given many creative gifts o the quilting world out there.I love her quality fabrics at discount prices.
The first quilt I ever made was back in the 80s, and it was an Eleanor Burns! She's one of my favorites, and this is such a wonderful idea!
Eleanor Burns & Quilt in a Day both make quilting seem easy, so you jump right in.
My first quilt was made with a Quilt in a Day pattern, it started with Eleanor, teaching me to chain piece, rotary cut etc. That was in the early 90's I believe. I have made quite a few of her patterns and will love to follow along with this one. New fabric would be great too!
My favorite book is Birds In The Air. I love how simply she presents the pattern! This is an amazing giveaway!! Thanks so much!
Eleanore Burn's patterns are really inspiring. It is great to have something that you can put together quickly and it's still looks like you spent weeks.
I love that she breaks things down so that they feel "doable"...Have fun teaching at the shop, that is awesome! Thanks for the opportunity!!
What a great give away! Eleanore Burns is such a lady and her quilting patters are precise and easy to follow, and that means so much! Hard just to say one good thing about her, she's got so many great qualities and has done so much for the world of quilting.
Her enthusiam ! saw her at schoolhouse at market and screamed with the crowd..Beth
Well one of my favoritte things about Eleanore Burns is her sister - Pat. I have had the pleasure of meeting her, and she is so sweet. I love Eleanor's great books. She has great illustrations and is so easy to follow. nlundeen at catt dot com.
I love Eleanor - her no nonsence presentation, with humour and so much energy. Her patterns are easy to do but very effective. I love the fact that you can watch her shows through her website. Thanks for the giveaway.
I've only seen Elenor's shows twice. I loved her passion for quilting, clear instructions and the over the shoulder toss of the fabric snippet. Thanks for the chance at an amazing giveaway.
I would so LOVE to win those fabrics! YUM!
I love Eleanors rulers, they make things easier.
What I love about you is that you make it look so simple. I have tried some of your squares and I cannot choose one to make a big project. Someday I will. I have not done it yet because when I am working I have the money for the materials but not the time and when I am not working, I have the time but not the money for the materials. Someday I will have both!!!
Wish I lived close to "Quilt in a Day" How lucky you are. I have been enjoying Eleanor Burns and her teachings for a long time. She has a way of explaining things that everyone understands. Thanks for the chance at winning the fabric. They are my favorite.
In my early quilting days 20 plus years ago I had a free day and took Eleanor's company name literally and actually pieced her Flying Geese twin sized quilt in a day! I gave it to our oldest grandchild who even took it to college with him!
Having the fun and art of EL is a delight .. thank you.
My friend lead me to Eleanore great instructions and ease of learning from her. She is fun to watch as well. I am new to quilting and love it. Winning this material would be great for me to make another quilt.
She seems like an amazing woman! Thanks for the chance to win!
I faithfully watch Eleanor on Quilt in a Day on RFTV every Wednesday. I enjoy her humor as well as her clear instructions.
Well that is alot of fabric! I know that Quilt in a Day is a cute TV show and that Eleanor Burns has a cute voice and demeanor!! Thanks a bunch!!!
I love her choice of colors in the quilt! Really beautiful!
I love that Eleanor has a lot of experience, and that she has been doing her quilt in a day since my birth year, 1978! The name Quilt in a Day gives ease to a newbie like me who doesn't have a lot of confidence! Thanks, Eleanor for making quilting seem manageable and doable for anyone! :)
Wow! What a fabulous prize!!! I have several Quilt in a Day books as well as several of the rulers. I love the fact that each step of the quilt is drawn out in a very easy to understand format. Thanks for the opportunity to win!=)
This is beautiful. What I like about Eleanor is that she has made quilting accessible to many who wouldn't try if not for her!
Oh, lucky duck you are to be so close. I love that Eleanor takes the complicated, breaks it down, and makes it easy for you to understand and accomplish fabulous patterns the stripper way. Thanks for a great giveaway.
Eleanor makes quilting look so easy. Her books & videos are great also.
I would just love to be the lucky one :-)
What do I like about Eleanor Burns--everything. She is funny, smart, one of the nicest people I've ever met and a supurb pattern writer. QIAD is a super quilt shop but my favorite thing about it (other than the wonderful staff) is the frenzy fabric--super deals on wonderful fabric!
Eleanore Burns just have to be at nice lady, I would like to be the lucky one :-)
Eleanor Burns is an inspiration to me. I'm somewhat new to sewing and quilting. Her books were some of the first that caught my attention.
Oh my - that is a LOVELY pile of batiks! I love that in her books, Elanor Burns gives such clear instructions and also for multiple sizes of quilts. I like lap and smaller quilts and she always has everything laid out perfectly from fabirc selection to cutting instructions easily findable for all sizes.
The first quilt I made was form my daughter it was for her HS graduation in 2010. Still have to put back on but thanks to Eleanor and her books and shows on RFD TV I made it.
OMG...I'd do just about anything for those BATIKS!!!
I remember watching Eleanor on TV years ago when I first started quilting. She would just toss scraps and threads over her shoulder while working.
I'm a beginner quilter, and every quilt shop I got to, to get advice, i'm told to start with an Eleanor Burns: Quilt-in-a Day quilt. I'm really looking forward and am excited to trying one. I hope taht i'll be sucessful at it, and it will turn out great. :)
I love quilt in a day, working on the flying geese book right now! carrie dot hare at gmail dot com
I love how easy she makes her pattern instructions. She walks you through the whole process.
Really, what's not to like about Eleanor Burns? I immediately felt welcome when as a complete novice sat in on video class and her inclusive manner entertained and instructed me and kindled a love of quilting that has since grown into a full-fledged passion. She is a nurturer of a tradition that encompasses womanhood in such a beautiful way. I think she is an all-time classic quilter and teacher. My hat is off to her and I owe her a debt of gratitude.
I love watchimg Elenor Burns on public television, you can always learn something new!
I saw Eleanor Burns one year at Paducah and she was so fun and enthusiastic. What a great giveaway. Thanks.
Thanks Julie - I hadn't seen Eleanor's page so now I have another 'must check regularly' page and a longer 'to do one day' list. What gorgeous photos and inspiring passion. Treasure Chest is gorgeous.
Lovely! I love her quilt barns book. Being a country girl, you know I have to make one!
Hugs & stitches,
Jennifer
LOve Quilt in a Day. Currently working on a tossed 9 patch and a quick quarter
Since I'm new to quilting, this is the first I've heard of Eleanore Burns, but I'll definitely be checking her out because of all of these great remarks and reviews from previous posters! Again, thanks for the giveaway.
What a GREAT give away. I adore Eleanor Burns and batiks.
I especially enjoy hearing her tell all the quilt history she shares and how relaxed she is in all her quilting techniques. Thanks for this give away and I sure hope I win :)
Her videos are great!
Thanks,
Patrick
I think I've learned more from watching Eleanor Burns than any other individual when it comes to quilting. How blessed you are that you have her in your back yard! :)
I love that her instructions are so easy to follow.
What a great giveaway! I like that Eleanor Burns is easy on the ears and that her quilts truly are 'quilts in a day'.
I visited the Quilt in a Day shop in Paducah, KY last April. I was struck by the business empire that Eleanor Burns has built.I was very impressed with the way things were organized and how every detail was addressed. A friend makes quilts regularly from Eleanor's books. They are stunning. Good luck with your teaching at Quilt in a Day in California!
Wow! what a fabulous giveaway. I have never met Eleanor Burns in person but I have watched several of her videos she has produced. I love how she throws the scraps of fabric she has just cut over her shoulder. No worries.:)
I met Eleanor Burns in the 70's when she was just getting started/ She so much fun and has become a legend. I still use her log cabin instructions.
I love the fact that Eleanor Burns' quilts are DOABLE!!
I love that any time you're anywhere that Ms Burns is, you know exactly where she is because she's making someone laugh! What a happy lady!
I like Eleanor's enthusiasm and that she seems to truly enjoy and have fun with her quilt-making. Thanks for the giveaway!
wow, what an amazing giveaway. I like to watch QID on saturdays, I get to sleep in late and then watch sewing shows on PBS. It's great for me because I don't know anyone who lives near me who quilts, so I love learning new things
Gorgeous! I love batiks! Eleanor does a great job with her graphics and instructions. She has some niffty tools too!
I just love watching her TV shows and her tossing fabric scraps. I have made a couple of her patterns and they really are easy and fast.
I love her Quilt in a Day Flying Geese rules - LOVE LOVE LOVE them!
LOVE the batiks... i am sure you are jealous - i would love to get ahold of this group for sure!!!
and THE eleanore burns' patterns to choose from... THAT would be an adventure for me.
thnx - pam
My quilting teacher had one of Eleanor's first books. I loved reading the story of how she got started, truly inspiring! And I love strip piecing.
Ms Burns television show was the first quilt program I watched and it gave me the idea that I could make a quilt,too! That was back in 1994. I've made many quilts since then. Thank you Eleanor!
I met Eleanor at an AQS Quilt Show in Des Moines, Iowa 2 yrs. ago & took a picture of her with me and my sisters, complete with her fun purple boa! Eleanor's quilts truly are easy to sew, which make them fun to work on. You're so lucky to be able to teach at her shop--WOW!
