Magic Vine Special
Purchase Eleanor’s book “Magic Vine Quilts” and get the paper backed, printed fusible Free, a $9.95 value! The fusible package contains 22 flowers and vine leaves for making a lap size quilt in raw edge appliqué.
The patterns for Magic Vine originated in the 1930's in a newspaper quilt column written by Florence LaGanke Harris. As part of a series, LaGanke presented one new pattern each week. In addition to the pattern, the reader was treated to a fictitious story about a quilt group and their leader, Nancy Page. In the group, they shared stories, and decided on what colors to use for their flowers.

Prepublication Offer: Lover’s Knot Quilt by Eleanor Burns
Special Notice: Our website was down last Friday for several hours. When our system was restarted, we were unable to retrieve some of our files that had been erased during the shut down. If you placed a Pre-Publication order for Lover’s Knot Quilt between September 21 through September 30, your order was not received. Please place your order again. If you have any questions, please call Customer Service at (800) 777-4852.
To celebrate her 30th anniversary and the marriage of her oldest son, Eleanor perfected the Lover’s Knot pattern using her signature 2 1/2" strips.
Add a touch of romance to any room with this lovely quilt. The elegant pattern uses two strips intertwined to make a “knot”. The graceful, flow of the quilt is made with two basic, strip pieced blocks. By using color and value in your fabrics, the “Lover’s Knots” stand out to show unity.
The blocks are set “on point” for a dramatic effect and corners can either be squared or diagonal. Eleanor offers step by step illustrations and instructions
to direct the quilter to a successful finish. There are yardage and cutting charts for all 5 quilt sizes and border options for a personalized quilt. Included with the Lover’s Knot quilt pattern, Eleanor gives directions for making a matching dust ruffle with tips on measuring and sewing the ruffle. A miniature wallhanging and long and short table runners are bonus projects in the book. They are pieced with narrow 1 1/2" strips for a charming petite finish.
Eleanor shares photographs of her son’s wedding and a quilt made by the new Mrs. Burns.
Lover’s Knot Quilt will be available in Mid-October, 2008
Pre-Order the book by October 31, 2008 and Eleanor will personally sign your book! As our gift, you will receive a Lover’s Knot quilt label and a Quilt in a Day Log Cabin Charm.
