welcome!

Seven carrots on one side of the bag, seven on the other, for a tote-al of, yup: 14 Carrot Gold! Just one of the bags in my book, Unforgettable Tote Bags. And because the hubby and I are downsizing, and I don't want to move allll my books, I've got a golden opportunity for you: A personally autographed copy of my book, regularly $21.95, is now heavily discounted to $15.01 (plus postage and handling). Scroll down a bit and check that out!

I'm not moving far, and I'm still happy to travel to your guild. I promise to plant some new ideas in your head, just a bit beyond your comfort zone! (The Mid-Atlantic Quilt Guild Network-- MAQGNet--gave me a 10 out of 10 rating as a presenter!)

My workshops will help you cultivate an original  Skinny quilt or tote bag -- the perfect, lazy-daisy play-day project!

And think of me to nurture those book proposals and final drafts into fruition, or help ripen the writing with some experienced editing!    

  • For pronunciation help with Levie, think "drove my Chevy to the levee." But call me Elly!
  • I am a needlework and crafts editor, author, book producer, designer, and teacher.
  • As a quilter and quilt historian, I love to share my very eclectic collection of antique and vintage quilts.
  • I'm excited about eco-quilting, embellishments, and memory quilts.

Give me a chance to share quilts by top tier quilters from the long ago past and today -- and some of my own eclectic pieces, too! Even the most traditional quilters smile and laugh and decide to try at least one new thing!

I'M FLEXIBLE, TO SERVE YOUR GUILD BETTER:  I know, I know--everyone is so busy, and it's hard to get the sign-ups for a separate workshop. You are welcome to consider a shortened, 1 1/2 hour version of any of the workshops you see, either before an evening lecture (with supper in between), or after a morning lecture (with a bag lunch in between). That way, you get a reduced price for a lecture. In addition, I can turn any of the workshops into a demonstration with a make & take to present at a regular guild meeting instead of a lecture, so that everyone goes home with a hand-made souvenir.

Home is still beautiful Bucks County, Pennsylvania, and if all goes well, I’ll just be moving a short distance to Center City Philadelphia this Fall: same phone numbers, email and website address.

Hey, I don't need the carrot or the stick treatment: I am willing and eager to travel anywhere to present to your group. Plus, I will bend over backwards to make a visit economical for you, helping to coordinate multiple gigs with other guilds or groups in your region who can split the travel costs, and finding friends and relatives who can put me up (I've got a lot of them!). Got just a few folks interested in a workshop? I'll work with you on price. Had a last minute cancellation? Bet I can fill in!

Do get in touch—just click on “contact me” at the upper left. And let me know how I can bring fun and inspiration your way!
