Summary: Should have bought this book first
Review: I am a beginning quilter. I had previously purchased 4 highly recommended books, but they weren't real clear for a total beginner. This book is absolutely great. The instructions, pictures, diagrams, everything, clear and easy to understand. Now, I can finally get started quilting with confidence thanks to this book. Could have saved lots of money if I had purchased this book first.

Summary: Nice book for beginning and experienced quilters...
Review: This book has good photos of the 13 quilts and one pillow sham included. The instructions also appear to be simple enough for a beginner like me, and include fabric selection advice as well as places to glue scraps of the fabric you plan on using for your own reference. Each quilt instruction has multiple drawings illustrating the step-by-step instructions.
There are several different size options given for each quilt, including: "Single Block", "Pillow", "Tablerunner", "Wallhanging", "Lap/Twin", "Full/Queen", "King", although not all quilts included in the book have every size listed. As a note, there are several pages where some of the directions have been covered by stickers giving slightly different measurements, this seems to have been done by the publisher and doesn't really detract from the book's value as a teaching guide.
However I could do without all the "memories" and photographs of the author's family and business sucesses, but as far as actual quilting patterns and directions the book looks helpful. This is a book which should give every level of machine quilter from beginner to experienced something new to sew.

Summary: Eleanor Still Has it!
Review: Well, if you have ever watch "Quilt In A Day" on PBS with Elenor Burns you will find this a fun and enjoyable book. Lots of beautiful patterns and quilts. Sprinkled among her family photo album of where the last 25 years have taken Elenor. It is witty (as she is) and funny and the quilts are very pretty and I think simple to make!
A must buy for any quilter who loves Elenor Burns!
Happy Day!
