Linda Bardes Author

Maxine Rosenthal started quilting almost 40 years ago. She made her first kaleidoscopic quilt for her daughter's ninth birthday. Her daughter is now 37 and has many kaleidoscopic quilts - including the very first one. Maxine lives in Woodbury, Minnesota.

Linda Bardes has sewn most of her life, including clothes for herself and her children. One year she totes her sewing machine around the country and bartered her sewing for unoccupied resort rooms. She lives in Plymouth, Minnesota.
