Quilt in a Day

By Denise Russell

Make a Quilt in a Day: Log Cabin Pattern,
by Eleanor Burns, was the first quilt book I purchased, and the Log
Cabin pattern as demonstrated in that book was used in the first 12
quilts I made. I followed her instructions precisely, and appreciated
her invaluable tips and great pictures. The next book by Eleanor I
bought was Underground Railroad Sampler, followed by Still Stripping After 25 Years, then Quick Trip Quilts,  It’s “El”ementary: Quilting Tips and Techniques and, finally, The Magic Vine.
I love Eleanor’s expressive personality, I am impressed by her story
(and can relate to it at a very personal level), and by her
accomplishments. Eleanor has been instrumental in making the art of
quilting more accessible and easier to learn. Once I grasped the basics
from her books, I was never again afraid to tackle more involved
techniques. I highly recommend her books and techniques to any aspiring
quilter.
