Introduction

In producing Tropical Paradise, I have been fortunate to have the expertise, enthusiasm and friendship of the following quilters, Paula Sheron, who did the machine quilting on both sample quilts, Julie Yaciw, Cheryl Fisher, Kim Waite, Karen Patton, Sara Stake and Sally Hansen. Happy Quilting from all of us!

About the Author

I am Judy Hansen and I opened the Quilt Shop of DeLand, in July of 2001. This year marks our fifth anniversary in the quaint historic district of DeLand. DeLand is located forty-five minutes northeast of Disney World and thirty minutes southwest of Daytona Beach. This is our second book based on our annual Block of the Month Sampler. We hope you also enjoyed our first BOM, Antique Christmas Memories.
