    I had put Still Stripping after 25 Years on my b-day list and am thrilled to have it - love the patterns in that book!

    If you use your Joann's coupon you'll get it 40% off which makes a big difference!

    I have lots of her books. I think if you want a lot of different blocks choose one of her sampler books, Under Ground Railroad for one. Good luck and enjoy.

    I too a class with Eleanor using the Still Stripping book. It was a lot of fun.

    An easy one to do is Irish Chain. The single is really easy

    First check them out at your library. When you find one you love, purchase it.

    I did that with Victory quilts. I love the stories she tells at the start of each chapter and the stories.

    My first quilting pattern was Eleanor's first printed book (Irish Chain Quilts) that she self-published. It is my fall back pattern, when I have no idea what to do for someone. It really is done step by step for a beginner.

    I just finished her Double Pinwheel which is book all by itself. Just a really neat pattern. Her instructions are so easy to understand.
