Author  Judy L.  LaquidaraAbout the Author

In the early 1980's while living in Lake Charles, Louisiana, Judy was wasting time during her lunch hour when she stumbled across a little quilt shop. In the days and weeks folllowing, she spent many lunch hours (and most of her earnings!) in that little quilt shop. She continued to work full time until moving to Kentucky in 1997. From the purchase of a "longarm" machine that was actually a very old, used (very used!) short arm machine, to her present-day APQS Millennium, Judy has found longarm quilting more fun than she ever imagined. "I truly love every minute I spend at the machine."

Designing her own quilts led to requests from friends for the patterns and thus a new business of pattern designs was formed. Several of her patterns have been published.

Judy's quilts have won numerous awards and have been included in books by Bonnie Browning and Karen McTavish.

Today Judy lives in Nevada, Missouri, with her husband, son, and Speck, the best dachshund she's ever had. (He's number 3.) Louisiana will always be "home" and she hopes to move back there some day.
