About the Author Judith Baker Montano, a Canadian-born fiber artist and the world's leading crazy quilt artist, is an award, winning author of seven books. She incorporates ethnic and traditional influences from world travels into her work, as well as her love of the land and memories of her Alberta ranch home. Judith started quilting when her family was living in Houston, Texas, where she was an active member of the Kingwood Quilt Guild. Her first first prize-winning quilt was made in 2980, when she won Best of Show at the Calgary, Alberta, Canada. It was a special victory, because her great-grandmother had won the same award in 1934. Crazy quilting has become a constant form of expression for Judith. Her contemporary style is evident in her unique crazy-quilt landscapes, art garments, and accessories, which feature Victorian stitches, beading, silk-ribbon, and punchneedle embroidery. Her garments and quilts have won several design awards in Canada and the U.S. and have been pictures in many national magazines. Judith designs for such companies as Bucilla Corporation, Mokuba ribbons, Butterick Patterns, and Kanqawa Company. She has appeared on a number of national television shows, such as HGTV's Simply Quilts and The Carol Duvall Show, Judith is able to apply her painting and photography skills to her books, making them among the industry's best-selling books. Judith is a graduate of California State University at Chico,and holds a degree in art and journalism. She enjoys teaching and lecturing, which takes her traveling worldwide at least 150 days of the year. She credits part of her success to the support of the Denver Art Museum and Imelda DeGraw, Curator of Textiles, who helped Judith in crating the original Crazy Quilt Handbook. The museum gave Judith her first museum show in 1988, and took her to Japan as an instructor with the 1990 Denver At Museum Quilt Show in Tokyo. Judith's family includes her husband, Ernest Shealy, and their children Jason, Madeleine, Tara, Dana, Kristen, their spouses, and grandchildren. Judith divides her time between Los Angeles, California, and LaVeta, Colorado.
