Over thirty years ago Eleanor Burns introduced her first Quilt in a Day book, beginning a quilt making revolution. She invited all types of sewers to participate in an age-old tradition using her unique style; a diverse combination of cutting and sewing applications which replaced scissors and templates with rips and strips, bringing rotary speed to patchwork.

She also introduced an incredibly rapid stitching system, applying the method of assembly line sewing to piecework. Her concise, step-by-step directions were easy to grasp, allowing anyone to be successful at making a quilt.

Eleanor Burns gave quilt makers techniques that compacted months into merely a day, a quilt in a day. Today, as she continues to passionately devote herself to nurturing and motivating thousands of want-to be quilters with needed self-confidence, her name and techniques have become synonymous with quiltmaking.

Eleanor giving a brief background about her family, her love of sewing and passions! During the Quilting Academy, we'll definitely spend a lot of time with her and she'll definitely share more of her stories and adventures in quilting!

Eleanor demonstrating her techniques at a recent quilt show! Much of what we'll expect at the Three Day Quilting Academy!
