Gailen Runge has been both quilting and editing since 1991. In publishing she specialized in magazine startups, and in quilting she operated her own custom-quilt business before coming to C&T Publishing in 2002. A true serial crafter, she will try any and every craft at least once. With two small children at home, quilting sometimes takes a backseat to other (less time-consuming) soft crafts, such as designing and sewing bags and clothing and knitting.
