Alex Anderson's love of quilting all began in 1978 when she completed her Grandmother's Flower Garden Quilt as a part of her work towards her degree in art from San Francisco State University. Over the years, her central focus has been to understand fabric relationships and to develop an intense appreciation of traditional quilts and beautiful quilting surface design. Alex is the author of 30 books with C&T Publishing, in four languages, selling near 1 million copies worldwide. Her quilts and instruction tips have also appeared in numerous magazines. She is the National Spokesperson for Bernina of America, a promotional partner for AccuQuilt's GO!, as well as a designer of her own line of fabrics with P&B Textiles, and threads with Superior Threads. For 11 years, she served as host of Simply Quilts on HGTV. Alex continues to be one of the most sought-after instructors and lecturers in the international quilting and sewing industry. Liz Aneloski learned to quilt in the 1980s when her daughters were very young. She has been an editor at C&T Publishing for a couple of decades, authored eight books, nurtured her marriage for 30 years (and counting), and watched her girls become amazing married women. She says, "What more could a person ask for?" Liz lives in California with her husband and Toby, a 14-pound four-legged ball of energy with a tail that never stops wagging.
