We have TWO beautiful machines for sale below, please take a look and forward this email to anyone you know looking for a sitdown or standup longarm machine.

ELEANOR BURNS LECTURE IN TRENTON
The Florida Quilt Museum celebrates Eleanor Burns, with a benefit lecture and demonstration on Friday, April 27, 2018 from 1:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m. at the Florida Quilt Museum, 409 North Main Street Trenton, Florida. With her newest book, Forty Fabulous Years with Eleanor, Mrs. Burns marks the 40th anniversary of the publishing of Make
a Quilt in a Day: Log Cabin Pattern, published in 1978. This first book, and the ensuing
television program of the same name, has been credited with starting the quilt-making revival and revolutionized the modern art of quilt making.
Through mass media, Mrs. Burns has motivated all types of sewers to participate in traditional quilting using her unique style; a diverse combination of cutting and sewing applications which replaced scissors and templates with rips and strips, bringing rotary speed to patchwork. Mrs. Burns is also credited with introducing an incredibly rapid stitching system: applying the method of assembly line sewing to the piecework that lies at the heart of quilt making. Mrs. Burns’ concise, step-by- step directions were easy to understand, allowing anyone to be successful at making a quilt and provided more experienced quilt makers tips and techniques that compacted what was previously months of effort into one day of work.
Patricia Knoechel, Mrs. Burns’ sister, will lead the book tour and demonstrations. A $10.00 donation to The Florida Quilt Museum is requested to attend. RSVP to 352-463- 3842. Seating is limited. Parking is free.
The Florida Quit Museum is home to The Florida Quilt Trail and Trenton’s Suwannee Valley Quilt Festival. The Florida Quilt Museum is dedicated to preserving and displaying Florida’s quilting heritage.
