Carol Ann Maurer has been quilting since 1988. She taught at Lone Star College, Great Expectations Quilts, Time Treasured Quilts, Quiltworks, aboard the m/s Norwegian Dream, Song of Flower (cruise ships),to name a few and teaches classes in her own private studio at home in Houston, Texas. She is an accomplished educator who shares her knowledge through her DVDs, classes, workshops and quilt lectures throughout the country.

Carol Ann wrote this book with the beginner in mind explaining in detail quilting and sewing jargon. She included over 140 pictures with explanations of various steps in quilting. The book was designed for the beginner but it also transitions into an advanced level of quilting so readers can follow and achieve a higher level in their quilting experience.

This book teaches you to “begin with the end in mind”; to plan to finish your quilt and to learn about techniques that you think may be out of your skill level.
