As anyone who has seen this blog can tell, I am a fan of Eleanor Burns. The picture is when I got to meet her in Paducah, 2006.
I have 16 of her books and have made something from most of them! So many quilts, so little time!
I have other books too, but just like her easy methods and the great looking projects.
I recommend them to anyone beginning to quilt and even to seasoned quilters, because the instructions are easy to follow and there are many ideas to work from.
There you have it, my future goal - to be a pattern tester for Quilt in a Day!

Fat Quarter Quick Trip

Yes, it's another Eleanor Burns top! I won our guilds fat quarters for May 2007.
DD, beginner quilter, suggested that I make a top from the book she was using for her first quilt, Quick Trip Quilts.
She helped me pick the quarters to use and this is the result.
It was quick and easy!

Design wall? OK it's my design curtain. I tend to hang blocks and small sections of quilt tops here to see what I have going on. The big block is a design for a friend who wanted a "deer quilt". It is from Eleanor Burns book Quilts through the Seasons. The "Pink Lemonade" block. :)
I liked the block pattern and these fabrics give it a whole different feel.

Winter Wolves

This is Granddaughters quilt. I had already made the top and she and her mother called from NH to tell me she had found the wolf panel at a fabric shop. She wanted a wolf quilt. I told her I would trade the quilt for the panel!

I have made two more on the same idea, one for grandson's eighteenth birthday coming up and one for a friend I worked with.

The wolves seem to be pretty popular!
