À propos de l?auteur

Teri Lucas is Chief Quilting Weirdo at TerifiCreations. She started machine quilting four years into hand quilting Bob's Quilt and just wanting it done. Over time Teri discovered that a good medium speed, learning to adjust tension, and using the right needle for the thread made all the difference her quilting. She finds using thread to its best advantage fascinating, and enjoys the what-if thinking that leads to making. Teri is inspired by autumn leaves, wrought iron, bridges, sunsets, pansies, mums, architecture, and quilts, of course. She lives in New York City and enjoys holding hands with her Sweetie.
