ROCK YOUR QUILTING
Our Program Coordinator Michelle has another great program set up for the Zoom meeting 10/18/22 (7:00-9:00pm). We will have our Business Meeting right after the program:
Though born and raised in Baltimore, MD, Eleanor Levie (rhymes with Chevy) has a personality that is less Baltimore Album and more Crazy Quilt. Home is Center City Philadelphia, where she and the husband take walks all over town and rarely get in the car—except to visit family in Baltimore. And once in a while, as Covid-regulations permit, they get on a plane to visit their son, daughter-in-law, and grandbaby who now live in Boulder, Colorado.
Elly is a prolific and innovative quilter of quilted gifts such as pillows, table runners, tote bags, and embellished jackets. And as an art quilter, she's as likely to use paint and dye and recycled packaging as she is to piece, machine-applique, and quilt. In fact, she dabbles in every technique she can find. That being said, she's got a respected professional persona, too: From 1978 until 2012, she authored, edited, and produced books such as: Quilt Blocks Go Wild!, Unforgettable TOTE BAGS, Skinny Quilts & Table Runners I and II. All feature Elly’s original designs but also those by famous quilters you know and love. Previously, Elly produced the Rodale’s Successful Quilting Library series, authored Great Little Quilts, Country Living's Country Quilts. American Quiltmaking: 1970-2000 is her history book, chock full of pictures of iconic quilts and the stories behind them.
