Elly’s trunk show features lots and lots of quilts and quilted accessories, showcasing a dozen different and unconventional ways to inject originality and unique style into YOUR quilting. From stretching or skewing classic blocks, to adding unusual materials, techniques, and embellishments, you’ll discover how to put your own personal stamp on everything you do.

Eleanor Levie is a fabric fanatic, scarfing up every technique she learned from the experts when she authored edited, and produced dozens of how-to quilting books, including the Rodale’s Successful Quilting Library series, Skinny Quilts & Table Runners I and II, Unforgettable Tote Bags, and Quilt Blocks Go Wild. American Quiltmaking: 1970-2000 is her history book, and the subject of a popular presentation, Magical History Tour. After decades making lots of table runners, pillows, and tote bags, she then moved into art quilts. In that pursuit, she is hard-wired to push the envelope, incorporating recycled packaging and vintage textiles, unusual shapes for wall hung art quilts and 3-D vessels, various surface design effects, and personal and even political statements. A member of Studio Art Quilt Associates, Eleanor has had several of her quilt artwork juried into SAQA exhibitions — global, regional, and virtual. She organized a juried, regional exhibition for SAQA-Pennsylvania honoring the 250^th, called “Art Quilters Celebrate Independence,” which is currently on view at its fourth venue, the Reading Public Museum, until late May of 2027. Eleanor lives with her husband in Center City Philadelphia, where they walk everywhere and rarely get in the car.
