my quilts
Here I share my work...when I get around to posting it. I don't make art with the intention of selling it. Many are personal and political statements. I am excited with a challenge from SAQA or Quilt for Change/The Advocacy Project. Or I am exploring a new technique or unusual material.
Many of my quilted projects come into being to honor a birthday or life milestone for close friend or family member, or contribute work for a non-profit's offices, or for a charity auction or benefit that fundraises for a good cause.
And, if enough time has passed since making an art quilt that I can stand to look at it, you might see it on the walls of our townhouse...
I start each quilt with a plan...or maybe just an idea. Then I make it up as I go along.
I am queen of the quick & dirty. If you have occasion to see my work in the cloth, pay no attention to the back.
I always welcome your opinions! Email me at eleanorlevie@gmail.com
ReUSE series
Fun with a stash of trash! Coffee bags, tea bag envelopes, and other foil-lined packaging. Oooh, how they hold a crease, so I get to take a vacation from my iron!!

Quilt Statements
I've discovered that if you have something to say – the more personal or political, the better – it takes the pressure off the need to create "art." These messages quilts allow me to get things off my chest, and also give me more of a shot of having people take a second look at what I've done.
