About the Authors

Beth Wheeler, aka "Muttonhead" is a freelance artist, product-development specialist, author and teacher. In the past sixteen years, she has written more than 44 books for sewing, quilting, craft and collecting audiences; written hundreds of articles for trade and consumer publications; and published her own line of Muttonhead quilting patterns and products. Beth has been a crafter since age five and a quilter since age sixteen. She credits her mother and maternal grandmother with inspiration and introduction to early techniques—and access to a Singer featherweight!

A passion for discovery led her to develop processes for the analysis of technique and design. These skills are the basis for her classes, workshops, articles, books and products.

Beth lives in northern Indiana with husband, Geoffrey; son, Jake; and dogs, Kippy and Sydney, in a house happily crowded with a jumble of fabrics, computers, printers, projects in progress and treasured stuff too precious to actually use

Lori Marquette, AKA "Sassy" is a freelance artist, product development specialist and certified massage therapist. She has worked with Beth, providing balance and marketing her designs, for sixteen years. During this time, Lori has renewed her childhood appreciation for quilting and crafting gained from the many hours spent watching her grandmother hand quilt and embroider as she was growing up.

She brings a lifelong passion for the healing arts, a unique perspective and a healthy sense of adventure to artistic creativity. This facilitates therapeutic persuasion in her technique and design. It is a privilege for her to share this energy with you.

Lori lives in northern Indiana with her sons, Tyler and Ryan; and toy poodle, Cody.

We are blessed and we are grateful!
