About the Author

My mother taught me to sew in junior high and I used that skill to make clothes for a long time—through high school and college. My first quilting project was a hand-pieced bed quilt that took me over five years to complete.

Then small quilts caught my attention, especially miniature quilts. Because I do have a full-time job but enjoy sewing, the idea of making a small quilt appealed to me. I could actually finish that! Plus it's fun to display the quilts on a wall and admire them (and have them admired!)

As I made more quilts, my attention was drawn to the competition side of quilting. Trying to make a quilt good enough to enter into competition helped me get better at piecing, quilting and all aspects of making a quilt. The design element drew me in because it was another way to be creative. While I enjoy my job, I also need something to do that is creative and different. Quilting fills this need. I can pick a simple, easy quilt or a complicated design. It's the whole process I enjoy - from picking out the fabric to putting on that last stitch in the binding.

Writing this book gave me a chance to explore an idea that I've had from a long time - quilts in my (work) cubicle! I like the idea of a quilt a month. I realize time is limited for many women - our lives are so busy - but managing to take time here and there to create something results in a great deal of satisfaction.
