About the Author

As a little girl, Elaine Waldschmitt grew up watching her grandmother stitching hand-appliqued quilts during the cold Minnesota winter nights. When she was 9, Elaine joined a 4-H group and learned to sew. For a high school graduation gift, she received her first sewing machine from her parents.

Throughout the next fifteen years, Elaine fell in love, married, was blessed with three active sons and kept advancing in her career as a registered dietitian. By 1995, she was a full-time neonatal nutritionist at the local children's hospital and a busy wife and mother.

Elaine began her pattern line, The Quilted Close, in the fall of 1995, with four quilted jacket patterns. Each year, she designs and publishes new patterns, with her line now boasting over ninety patterns and seven books. In 2000, Elaine began designing quilting fabrics and she is now licensed with Andover Fabrics. She teaches nationally and has frequently appeared as a guest of PBS quilting shows including Sewing with Nancy and Kaye's Quilting Friends.

Elaine lives in Johnston, Iowa. Appli-Curves is her first book with Krause Publications.
