Yes, Quilt in a Day is celebrating their 35th Anniversary!  And, SewCalGal has a way for Quilter's all over the world to help celebrate and "surprise" Eleanor and the QIAD team!

happy 35th Anniversary To Quilt In A Day


For 35 years Eleanor and the QIAD team has been helping to make our world of quilting fun.  There have been great patterns, books, rulers and entertainment that have taught many of us, and inspired most of us.  And an amazing amount of humor and fun!

If you anticipate your card not arriving prior to the 19th, feel free to send your card directly to Eleanor (same address as above just mark it "attn: Eleanor").   And, for those lucky ducks attending Quilt Market or Festival, if you get a chance please congratulate Eleanor on 35 years when you see her.

SewCalGal, this is a wonderful idea!! My quilting really took off when I learned Eleanor's Quilt in a Day technique 25 years ago! Thanks for encouraging people to honor her contribution to the quilting world.

I still have the quilt I made in a class with Eleanor at the Fabric Patch in Upland, Ca (now in Montclair, Ca if I remember correctly.). It was 1982 and we didn't know as much as we do now! I can still remember crawling around the floor of my living room about 9 months pregnant tying my log cabin quilt. Fun memories. Thanks for the suggestion to send her a card.
