ann of pixie girl quilts: pattern designer, author 

I Live in Salt Lake City, UT with my husband. I have one daughter and just added a son-in-law. When I’m not designing I love to go sit out by our pool, put the radio on and float or just read a good book.

I love color, even when I’m not quilting. To relax, I enjoy decorating my home. Decorating lets me play with fabrics and colors in another way. My husband and I joke that the house is getting smaller inside because I’ve repainted the walls so many times.

My maternal grandmother was a quilter and I didn’t want to see the art lost in my family so I decided to learn. I love taking fabrics and seeing what I can create. Sometimes fabric inspires my designs. Other times, its things I see—tiles in a floor or slats in a fence—or ideas just come to me at odd times. I hand draw all my designs so I always have graph paper handy.

I am SO excited to share my patterns and quilts with others and hope that you enjoy them as much as I do!
