About the Author

Patty Albin has been avid quilter for more than twenty-five years and has always loved the traditional look of quilts. With the advent of twenty-first-century sewing machines and the creative opportunities that pre-programmed machine embroideries offer, she's become passionate about incorporating these designs into her quilts, as well as showing others how to do so. Formerly, Patty owned a quilt shop and was an associate editor of Quiltmaker magazine. Currently, she is an AQS Certified Quilt Appraiser and is the Director of Education for Viking Distributing Company in Medford, Oregon. Patty designed the Beautiful Baltimore embroidery collection for Husqvarna Viking.
