A skillful quilter uses a variety of colors, selected materials, careful stitches, perseverance, and hours of work to produce a beautiful, quilted masterpiece. As skilled writers, we quilt with words, and our creative process is much the same. We pick a unifying theme rather than a block pattern to follow. We choose from a variety of words and stories instead of textures and fabrics. We lay out our ideas and edit and polish our compositions, much like a quilter cuts and pieces together cloth shapes into designs. When our wordsmithing is complete, we bind the pages together and our finished product is a book instead of an elaborate quilt. The labor of our love, Quilting Lessons, now graces many homes and lifts hearts.

Every author has a journey to publication which is unique to them. Our story, like so many others, started with the support of friends and family. They dreamt with us and encouraged us in seeing our ideas birthed from our hearts and minds to Quilting Lessons.
