About the Author

A lifelong needle artist, Laurie's quilts grace galleries and private collections and have been featured in Country Home, Coastal Living, Architectural Digest, American Patchwork and Quilting, McCall's Quilting and the Wool Street Journal.

A patchwork quilt in a magazine inspired Laurie to take up quilting at the age of 14. Drawn to traditional themes and techniques, she pieces, appliqués and quilts by hand. Handwork is calming and meditative. It's the way I was meant to work," says Laurie. She joyfully spends her time quilting, creating, teaching, writing and designing fabric with her sister and design partner, Polly Minick.

Laurie lives with her husband, Bill, in Ann Arbor, Michigan. They share their home with a happy menagerie of two cats and a dog.
