  1. I haven’t seen Eleanor’s tutorial so will have to go and check itout…. it sounds and looks like a succesful class Joy. Good on you getting some beginners on board!

  2. When I started quilting about 1999–she was a big big name and had lots of books and rulers–And one of the first classes at my local shop was on her underground railroad book–but they did the large blocks and that tool alot of fabric–a couple years later someone else did the smaller size in a class and I took that and that quilt is one of my very favorite quilts–
    I have all or most of her rulers–and her sister used to come and do a show and tell every spring in NY–but I hear about either one of them anymore–
    and guess what–I have never make a whole quilt of log cabin blocks!!!
    enjoy the moments, di

    1. I was recently at her shop in San Marcos for a 40th anniversary celebration of her business. She is still as funny as ever and had us all in stitches. The first quilt I made was her log cabin and it taught me a lot about quilting.

      1. Mine too! I met her and did classes with her in Tennessee at a quilt festival then in Paducah Ky and I went to her shop in San Marcos and she came in! What a thrill, wonderful teacher !

  3. Well done on another class. I’ve not any of Eleanor’s books, but have certainly heard of her. As Di says, a lot of the older names in quilt industry are very quiet these days. Sad, but I suppose we all slow down as we age(giggle). Take care.

  4. I want to do another log cabin. Doing it Eleanor’s way may be the only way that I have time to do it.
    I certainly have enough jelly rolls to choose from. Bad me!!!

  5. This is the 1st quilt I ever saw. My old boss made several of them from that book. Your blocks look lovely x
