About the Author

Maxine Rosenthal started quilting almost 40 years ago. She made her first kaleidoscopic quilt for her daughter's ninth birthday. Her daughter is now 37 and has many quilts - all kaleidoscopic and yes, she still has that very first one. She lives in Minnesota.

Linda Bardes has sewn most of her life. When her 4 children were little, she sewed everything but their socks. One year she toted her sewing machine around the country and bartered her sewing for unoccupied resort rooms. She lives in Minnesota.
