About the Author

Susan Stein started quilting in 1977 and has delighted in getting other people obsessed with quilting and surface design ever since. This former president and show chairman for Minnesota Quilters was named Minnesota Quilter of the Year in 2003. An energetic and passionate quilter, Susan has shared her talents as the author of three books and as a contributing author to numerous others. She has taught many classes in Minnesota and around the country. Many of the hundreds of quilts produced by her hands serve as wall hanging, publication pieces and store samples, while others are on public display or in personal use. Susan co-owned a quilt shop from 1980 to 1985 and opened her current shop, Colorful Quilts and Textiles, in 1995.
