About the Author

Born during World War II, Sandy grew up sewing in Holland, Michigan. "My mother taught me to sew on my grandmother's machine, and every time I finished a project she would say, "Now, go show your father." I always felt full approval from him and loved to see his reaction."

Sandy was trained as an art teacher and began quilting in 1979 while she was living in Iran and then Saudi Arabia, teaching at an American school. One of her first quilts was a baby quilt made for her third child, who was born in Saudi Arabia.

Back to California in 1984, Sandy continued to expand her interest in quilting and improve her skills. She started working at a local quilt store and began teaching classes. In 2000, she published a series of three quilt books with Jan Patek. In 2002, she started creating her own patterns and marketing them under the name American Jane Patterns. The following year she was invited to become a fabric designer for Moda Fabrics.

She has had quilts displayed at Houston Quilt Market and at the Pacific International Quilt Festival. She has created many fabric lines for Moda, and has 130 quilt patterns on display on her website.
