About this title

About the Author

Kelly's romance with quiltmaking begain in the mid-1980s, though it didn't fully blossom until the mid-1990s when both her sons were in school. Then, in addition to "quiltmaker," she soon added "quilting instructor" and "long-arm quilter" to her list of preferred activities. As a self-described "pragmatic quiltmaker," Kelly approaches quilt design and construction with a knowledge of and appreciation for the theoretical and a penchant for the practical.

Kelly resides in Overland Park, Kansas, with her husband, Jeff Seib, and their miniature schnauzer, Shyma. She is mother to Michael and Steven, and Nana to Connor, Sara, and Vayda. In addition to her quiltmaking passion, Kelly enjoys singing with the Kansas City Women's Chorus, traveling, being mesmerized by the ocean, cooking, playing pinochle, and spending time with family and friends.
