Cinde Alexander, editorial

assistant at Love of Quilting,

made a Feline Frenzy quilt

using wool and flannel fabrics.

She used a big stitch with

perle cotton to quilt it.

DesignersKimberly Rado

began her art

background

and training

at a very early

age. Through

a career in public relations and

raising two children with her

husband Rick, art remained

a constant in her life. After

combining art with quilting over

ten years ago, she opened her own

quilt shop that nurtures

and encourages creativity.

Her love of art and animals is a

recurrent theme in many of her

original designs.
