About the Contributor

Ginny Robinson began quilting in 2009, inspired by her grandmother, who was born into a long, unbroken line of Kansas quilters. Besides quilting, she also writes and teaches, so she feels pretty lucky anytime two or three of these activities come together. She finds inspiration in the way craft traditions can “speak” to each other, and of all quilty things, she loves appliqué the most because at its best, it’s forgiving, a trait she seeks more and more in everything. She lives in North Carolina with her family and the best community of quilter friends anyone could ask for.
