Eleanor BurnsRezensionen

a more advanced pattern, uses special angle ruler ( included), still with the excellent step by step instructions expected of this company.
The kaleidoscope pattern has 100's of variations- but you will only find the standard variations here. Good starter book if you are interested in this optical illusion of circles and curves.

Eleanor Burn's usual style of clear instructions for machine applique and some dimensional hand applique for this sampler quilt.

This is a wonderful quilting book full of great patterns, with well written instructions and inspirational photos. But it is also a great book to read and admire, perfect as a coffee table book too! I loved reading all the history that was shared in this book. Once again, Eleanor did a fantastic job.

Eleanor has continued to show how very talented and inspirational she is, as well as giving from the heart. This book is truly a gift to all quilters, from her heart. I love it. There is an excellent insight on history of American quilts, as well as excellent patterns, photographs, visuals...all to inspire. I found many patterns in this book that would make excellent gifts, as well as quilts for my home. Love it.

I just finished piecing this top (queen-size) and it turned out wonderful..the directions were very understandable and I followed them precisely. I am sure the bride and groom who will receive this will be delighted!

What I like best about any book by Eleanor Burns is that she gives the fabric and materials requirements to make six or more sizes of the project using the quilt block. Color is also shown and she tells you how to make your own quilt journal to keep track of all of the fabrics you use in your projects. This book is clearly illustrated with color drawings and photographs. It could be used by a beginner all the way to an advanced quilter.

Eleanor Burns has a series on her television program that are dedicated to the 1940's and World War II. This book has the directions for 20 different quilt blocks that can be used in quilts of your own choice. All are either old designs from the time period or are inspired by these designs. Her use of charts for different quilt sizes makes it easy to gather all the material you need for the size quilt of your choice. The directions are clearly written and she has ranked each block by level of expertise, one star being easiest and four stars for the expert quilter.

Another great book from Eleanor. Using this book and Eleanor's Flying Geese Templates, once you've mastered the geese, you can whip a King Size top together in a weekend.

This is the book that all short cuts on log cabin are based on. Yes, it's true that some people don't like this method. However, for a beginner, to motor something out that looks so fabulous fast is likely what will get them to consider the next quilt because you have created a quilter!

planning on makeing Candy Cane Lane /Ma4rcia Lasher quilt page 182/ bought book and material at Brenda's Quilt Stop Shop 2007

You will finish this quilt FAST with the Flying Geese rulers. Instructions are clear and include many sizes. If you already know how to make this pattern type, just buy Eleanor Burns' rulers (instructions on making geese included).½
