About the Author
In 1981 Nancy Smith and Lynda Milligan joined forces to establish the Great American Quilt Factory, Inc. The store, in Denver, Colorado, specialized in quilting patterns, fabrics, classes, and supplies. Four years later, Nancy and Lynda began designing patterns for quilts, stuffed animals, and dolls. In 1985 the formed DreamSpinners, the pattern division of Great American Quilt Factory, Inc. In 1987 the business needed more space, and moved to its present location on East Hampden Avenue in Denver. Consequently, DreamSpinners continued to grow, and eventually became the largest independent pattern company in the United States. In 1988, Nancy and Lynda created Possibilities as a book publishing division. To date, Possibilites has published over 70 titles. In 1992, the "I'll Teach Myself" series was created to introduce sewing to a younger generation. Today, Lynda and Nancy continue to maintain the retail store. They also design lines of fabric for AvLyn, Inc. and VIP/Cranston Consumer Products. Web site: www.possibilitiesquilt.com
