About the Author

Getting to know Linda Lum DeBono

When you want fresh ideas and modern color, you want designs by Linda Lum DeBono.

"I'm always looking for the next thing in fashion and I like to stay just ahead of the trend", says Linda. "New colors always seem a little bit out there or even a little crazy, but they can also be more subtle while the style itself leans toward the fashion-forward end of the scale. The best look is one that expresses what's hot without going over the top."

When Linda isn't drawing bold new patterns or spending time with her husband, Reno, and their two young sons, she can be found working on textile designs. Her most recent lines of fabrics by Henry Glass & company features a dynamic blend of geometric and floral prints in exciting new hues.

All this design activity makes it hard to believe that Linda hasn't always known how to apply scissors and thread to fabric. Linda discovered her creative skills when Reno's employment brought their family to New Jersey from Canada, and Linda left behind a career in the pharmaceuticals industry. To stay busy, the young mom took a couple of quilt classes and discovered a new passion for sewing and designing. These days, Linda's work can be seen in a variety of crafting magazines and books
