authorAbout the Author

When Judi Dains was younger, if someone had told her that she would be a quiltmaker and a designer of wearable art, she would have laughed and maybe even disputed the issue. She was a content mother of two. Content? There wasn't a hobby or craft that got by her. From the earliest she can recall, she was busy with her hands and mind, creating with abandon.

As her children were growing up, Judi volunteered for everything that came her way. She became everything from PTA President to the first female baseball coach in her area to Girl Scout leader, and on and on. As life went on, she became involved with horses and motorcycles and at the young age of 38, she took up competitive roller skating.

Through the years, she has won more than 275 awards. Her work has been shown in galleries and public buildings, including the governor's office in California's State Capitol, where two of her quilts were on loan at the same time.

Judi has worked her quilting and wearable-art skills into her Heart of God Fashion Ministry, presenting the gospel to women's groups through her designs. She also teaches and lectures at quilt-related guilds.

She is blesses with two beautiful children, Cindy Stanley (Grace's mommy) and Brian Hubbard (the father of Adam Marisa and Cheyenne). Judi has been married to her husband, Jim, for 30 years, and they are both very active in their faith, still volunteering wherever needed.
