About the Author

Ricky Tims has successfully blended two diverse passions into one very unique and interesting career. His skills as a pianist, composer and producer have been affirmed by the thousands who have heard his music. His success as a quilter is equally significant.

He is known in the international world of quilting as an enthusiastic and encouraging teacher, an award-winning quilter and a talented and spellbinding speaker. His innovative and entertaining presentations feature live music and humor, combined with scholarly insights and wisdom. His quilts have been displayed worldwide and are highly regarded as excellent examples of contemporary quilts with traditional appeal. He is currently the cohost of The Quilt Show, an internet-based show for quilters that also features Alex Anderson, C&T author and former host of HGTV's Simply Quilts.

Ricky began designing and making quilts in 1991. In 2002, he was selected as one of The Thirty Most Distinguished Quilters in the World. He maintains an international schedule of teaching and speaking engagements, presents Ricky Tims' Super Quilt Seminars in select cities throughout the United States, and holds week-long retreats in La Veta, a tiny mountain town located in south central Colorado. He and life partner, Justin Shults, own Tims Art Quilt Studio and Gallery, a space dedicated to promoting quilting as art.

Ricky is passionate about quilting and is delighted to share his experience and enthusiasm with quilters of every level of expertise. He is challenged by creativity in all forms and encourages individuals to cultivate self-expression, reach for the unreachable and believe in the impossible.
