About the Author

A sewer and a knitter since she was eight years old, Eileen Wright has always worked creatively with needles and threads of some kind, working her way through most needlecraft hobbies over the years. She feels indebted to her maternal grandmother, Cynthia Rassmussen, for passing on her talents and love of being creative.



Vancouver Island in Canada has been Eileen's spiritual home since her very first visit, and she feels fortunate to have been able to live there for almost 20 years. She fills her days with designing and creating quilts.



Eileen shares her condo with three Pfaff sewing machines, a huge fabric stash, and some green growing plants--all of which provide her with all the serenity she craves. Huge skylights allow the sun to shine on her workspace, and an ever-changing view of the ocean and distant mountains often inspires various quilting projects.

Format: Paperback
Great book with beautiful examples. I found two errors in the directions for the Infinity Quilt while making it. You are asked to cut 17 strips 1 1/2" wide, but only used 11 of them. On the design chart line 17 there is an 8 at the bottom that should not be part of the chart. I have contacted the publisher to bring this to their attention. They replied that they would get back to me. I did not write this book. I just made the quilt after I purchased the book. Gail McClure

When I first looked at the quilts in "Twist - and - Turn Bargello Quilts" my thought was Wow, these quilts are amazing! My second thought was Yeah but could I make one. After reading through the directions and introduction the answer is definitely YES!

Eileen Wright's directions are clear and easy to understand. In her introduction she covers topics such as how to choose the fabrics to achieve the different visual effects, how to cut and piece the strips to avoid distortion and how to keep everything organized as you go along. Her experience teaching this method shows in the tips and suggestions which are included throughout the book. The design maps, which are included for each project, help keep you organized and provide a reference while you are sewing. In addition to the beautiful full sized quilts there are directions for making a table runner and placemats. These smaller projects allow you to get a feel for bargello quilting without the commitment to a larger project.

"Twist - and - Turn Bargello Quilts" makes these visually complex and beautiful quilts very doable!

This book is outstanding amongst the many quilt books I have read recently for its amazing use of colour. The designs are well-thought out too, waves of bargello that are simply mesmerizing. This 96-page book will tell you all you need to know to make the quilts. From the know-how of putting a quilt together, to the easy to follow instructions and fabulous photographs, this book is the perfect choice for anyone interested in making fabulou, colourful quilts. Recommended.

There is no mention in this book on how to scale up any of the designs to make bigger quilts, unless I completely missed it. I found valuable information on technique but ultimate that is not what I was looking for.

A well presented book. Patterns are well laid out but do require a good deal of concentration. Cannot wait to see my finished quilts.

It is a beautiful book and the directions are very clear and easy to follow. I purchased the book for Kindle, and when I enlarged the diagrams, it blurred the numbers and I had NO idea of the measurements for cutting my strips. I am new to Bargello and this was a critical issue. At first, I only gave this a 3 Star. THEN I found the PDF files (in the book) that could be printed for easy viewing. Whew...

The book has wonderful color photos of each of the projects. It provides clear design layouts and cut lists for each one. Though it is short it is definitely worth the cost. I have already laid out two of the projects to do and am gathering needed fabric! - TBG
