Author Judy HopkinsAbout the Author

Judy Hopkins comes from a family of quilters: her grandmother, her mother and her aunt all made quilts. She started pursuing full-time career in quilting after being named Alaska's state winner of the Great American quilt contest in 1986.

She has written many design and pattern books for quilters and is coauthor (with Nancy J. Martin) of 101 Fabulous Rotary-Cut quilts, Judy especially enjoys working with scraps. Faced with a daunting accumulation of scraps and limited time with which to deal with them, she started looking for ways to apply quick-cutting methods to scrap fabrics. This led to the design of Judy's popular ScrapMaster ruler, a tool for quick cutting half-square triangles from irregularly shaped scraps

Judy has specialized in mystery quilt patterns since the early 1990s; she writes a mystery series for Quilting Professional magazine and produces a line of mystery quilt patterns for individual quilter—Mystery Quilt Singles—in partnership with Marsha McCloskey of Feathered Star Productions.

Judy lives in Juneau, Alaska, with her husband, Bill. She has five adorable and brilliant grandchildren who like to help her sew.
