Angela Walters is a long-arm quilter, teacher, and author. Her quilting career began at the side of her husband's grandfather, and together they made her first quilt, a nine-patch design that is still on her bed today. Thousands of swirls, feathers, and parallel lines later, she has turned her love of stitches and fabric into a thriving business focused on modern machine quilting. Angela also designs fabrics for Art Gallery Fabrics. She lives on the outskirts of Kansas City, Missouri, with her husband, three children, and many, many quilts.

Christa Watson's background in traditional quiltmaking led her to enjoy learning every step of the quiltmaking process; her fascination with modern quilts has rekindled her love for the craft. An award-winning quiltmaker, Christa has had designs featured in various publications. She currently designs quilt patterns, teaches workshops, and is an active member of the Modern Quilt Guild, the National Quilting Association, and the American Quilter's Society. Christa enjoys being a wife to her husband and a mom to her three kids, who all think it's normal to have a house full of fabric.
