Quilt a lovely connection to the past.

AuthorAbout the Author

Kathleen Tracy made her first small quilt from a Martingale & Company pattern book she picked up in 2000. Making quilts for her daughter's American Girl dolls sparked an interest in history and led to the publication of American Doll Quilts in 2004. Kathleen looks to antique quilts for inspiration in making her scrappy quilts from simple blocks; she hopes that her books make the past come alive and give quilters a connection with quilters from long ago. She is also the author of Prairie Children and Their Quilts. Kathleen is a frequent lecturer to quilt guilds across the country and conducts workshops on making small quilts with an antique look.

In addition to quilting, Kathleen is an avid reader and loves gardening, cooking and making simple beaded jewelry for family and friends. She lives in Deerfield, Illinois, with her husband, college-aged son, teenage daughter and their two dogs.
