About the AuthorsMaxine
Rosenthal wrote computer software before most people understood what a computer
was. Those early days were a creative time, as programmers developed everything
new to meet the needs of the user. Using a symbolic language to create a final
product is not much different from using kaleidoscopes to create a quilt. Stretching
the boundaries has not changed much for her. Playing with fabric, ideas and a
friend have been the rewards. That Maxine's daughter, an interior designer, is
proud to use her mother's quilts in her home makes Maxine feel that the process
needs to be shared with others. Joy Pelzmann has enjoyed a long and
varied series of careers. Trained as a researcher in college, she went on to receive
a Ph.D. in counseling psychology. Her academic career involved research, teaching
and training. Art and its application to the home arts have been lifelong interests.
Now, finally, she is able to devote herself to those on a full-time basis. Immersed
in her work as a quilt artist, she returns to teaching and training as a way of
sharing her playful approach to art with others. A mother of three and grandmother
of four, she sees life as a series of wonderful moments to be enjoyed and sometimes
captured, but always appreciated.
