About the Authors: Ann Frischkorn Amy Sandrin are quiltmaking partners -and identical twin sisters- who live one thousand miles apart in Denver and Chicago respectively. Their quiltmaking journey began when Ann took a beginners' quilting class with a neighbor and knew, after the first stitch, this was an art form that she would embrace for the rest of her life. Monkey see, Monkey do. Because Ann liked it so much, Amy wasn't about to miss out, so Ann taught her the basics during a summer visit, and they have been quilting avidly for the past 13 years. They travel the country lecturing and teaching, and in their spare time, they also write young-adult fiction novels together.
