Charlotte Warr Andersen is an avid and well-known quilter. A native Utahn, she was born in Salt Lake City and has lived there all her life. She learned many needle skills from her mother, but she considers most of her quilting skills to be self-taught or acquired by good observation. Having recently become an empty nester, she resides with her husband, Eskild, and two dogs, Hugo and Legion. Stitching a portrait is still one of her favorite pastimes.

"I can't wait to make a quilt using the techniques in this book. Charlotte shows how to take a photo, enlarge it, make a pattern, choose fabric, and applique the pieces. Although there are not as many pictures in this book, the instructions are clear. She also has projects in the book with step-by-step directions for practice. So get out those cameras and start quilting!!!"
