About the Contributors

Karla Alexander has been making quilts in a traditional style for cribs and family beds since she was a young girl. More recently, however, she began exploring the possibilities of quiltmaking and developing her own style and methods. Today she self-publishes a diverse line of quilt patterns through her company, Saginaw Street Quilt Company. And she is the author of books, including Stack the Deck! (Martingale & Company, 2002) and her most recent publication, New Cuts for New Quilts (2006), also published by Martingale & Company.

A significant part of Karla's life is spent teaching others to embrace the world of quiltmaking. Her books and teaching style encourage visual play—endless variations of arrangements without preconceived notions of the end result. She sees her designs simply as the starting point for another quiltmaker's inspiration.

Maaike Bakker, who is from the Netherlands, made her first quilt in 1978 as a wedding gift for friends. In 1993, during a trip to the United States, she became enthusiastic about foundation piecing. She published her first quilting book in Dutch and has also published a book in German. Maaike has written three books with Martingale & Company, including Strip-Pieced Quilts (2005) and Spellbinding Quilts (2006).

Today Maaike lives and works in a little village in the north of the Netherlands. She designs her quilts and writes books and articles in her old farmhouse studio. She also teaches patchwork techniques, and her quilts have been exhibited in the Netherlands, Germany and the United States. Maaike and her husband, Theo, have three children.
