Her first book “Make a Quilt in a Day: Log Cabin Pattern” was self-published in 1978. Her [[Quilt in a Day]] TV series first aired in 1990.

==Summary==
== Career ==
Burns first started stitching on her Aunt Edna's feed sacks. Her first book, ''Make a Quilt in a Day: Log Cabin Pattern'', was self-published in 1978. The book has been credited with starting a quilt-making revolution as people learned Burns's style of stitching a [[quilt]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.rsvpbook.com/event_page.php?id=501391&p=265|title=Fabric Fest 2013|website=www.rsvpbook.com|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180619193641/http://www.rsvpbook.com/event_page.php?id=501391&p=265|archive-date=June 19, 2018|url-status=live}}</ref>
Over thirty years ago Eleanor Burns introduced her first Quilt in a Day book, beginning a quilt making revolution. She invited all types of sewers to participate in an age-old tradition 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. She also introduced an incredibly rapid stitching system, applying the method of assembly line sewing to piecework. Her concise, step-by-step directions were easy to grasp, allowing anyone to be successful at making a quilt. Eleanor Burns gave quilt makers techniques that compacted months into merely a day, a quilt in a day. Today, as she continues to passionately devote herself to nurturing and motivating thousands of want-to be quilters with needed self-confidence, her name and techniques have become synonymous with quiltmaking.


She has since written more than 100 books on the subject of [[quilting]]. In addition, Burns has written many patterns and developed a series of specialty rulers for quilting.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.quiltinaday.com/eleanorandcompany/eleanorburns.asp|title=Quilt in a Day / Biography of Eleanor Burns|author=Burns|first=Eleanor|website=www.quiltinaday.com|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180619193912/https://www.quiltinaday.com/eleanorandcompany/eleanorburns.asp|archive-date=June 19, 2018|url-status=live}}</ref> The ''Quilt in a Day'' TV series, which first aired in 1990, was based on Burns's book ''Make a Quilt in a Day''.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.rfdtv.com/story/22978189/quilt-in-a-day|title=Quilt in a Day|date=31 July 2013|work=rfdtv.com|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180619194033/http://www.rfdtv.com/story/22978189/quilt-in-a-day|archive-date=June 19, 2018|url-status=live}}</ref>
