Eleanor Levie

Eleanor Levie is quite sure you will go wild over her newest book: Quilt Blocks Go Wild! Though born and raised in Baltimore, MD, Elly's persona has always been less Baltimore Album and more Crazy Quilt. But her pride isn't just based on an insane amount of conceitedness. Nope, Elly is right to brag, cuz like most of her publications, Quilt Blocks Go Wild! features innovative and easy designs by celebrity quilters as well as Elly's own. Since 1978, she has worked as a needlework and crafts editor, author, and book producer, with quilting as a specialty. Check out her other recent hits--the make-it-green Unforgettable Tote Bags, and best-sellers Skinny Quilts & Table Runners I and II. Previously, Elly produced eight volumes of the Rodale's Successful Quilting Library series, authored Great Little Quilts, Country Living's Country Quilts, and American Quiltmaking: 1970-2000, among many other books and magazines. Outside the quilting arena, Elly is the creative force behind Country Living Country Paint, The Parent's Party Book, Halloween Fun, and other inspiring collections of projects to kickstart your creativity.

Now a resident of Center City Philadelphia, PA, Elly travels internationally to present wacky trunk shows and wonderful workshops to quilt guilds and groups. She proudly shows her own quilts--eclectic, eccentric, artsy, and fun; shares her exciting collection of antique, vintage, and contemporary quilts; and inspires quilters to push the envelope, stretch beyond their comfort zones, and generally, go wild!
