About the Author: As a third generation quiltmaker, Lois Arnold has lived with quilts all her life. A "country girl" at heart, Lois loves to be surrounded by antiques and traditional quilts, but she makes both traditional and innovative quilts. She enjoys using a variety of techniques and sets up challenges for herself on each project. Her passion for the pursuit of perfection in patchwork has earned her the title of "Princess of Perfection" among her quiltmaking friends. Lois began teaching quiltmaking in 1980 when friends asked her to teach them to quilt. Since that first class, she has taught in a variety of shops and class settings. Her greatest thrill is to see what she calls "the great aha" as students catch on. Lois resides in Chandler, Arizona, with her husband, Gary. In addition to quilting, she enjoys reading mysteries, entertaining, looking for great antiques and trying to keep flowers alive in the desert sun.
