About the Author: Though she was a middling geometry student, Norah McMeeking enjoys a good puzzle and problem solving, so she thoroughly enjoyed writing this book. When she isn't quilting or teaching, she enjoys traveling, learning, and taking photographs. Her husband is a professor of engineering at UC Santa Barbara, and they have two grown children.
