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 her style of stitching a quilt.[1]
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.[2].The Quilt in a Day TV series, which first aired in 1990, was based on Burns' book Make a Quilt in a Day.[3]
