Beth Wheeler (a.k.a. “Muttonhead”) is a free-lance artist, product-development specialist, author, and instructor. In the past 16 years, she has written more than 44 books for sewing, quilting, craft, and collecting audiences; hundreds of articles for trade and consumer publications; and published her own line of Muttonhead® quilting patterns and products. Beth has been a crafter since age five and a quilter since age 16. She credits her mother and maternal grandmother with inspiration and introduction to early techniques—and access to a Singer featherweight sewing machine. A passion for discovery led her to develop processes for analysis of technique and design. These skills are the basis for her artwork, workshops, articles, books, and products.
Beth lives in Fort Wayne, Indiana with husband Geoffrey, son Jake, and dog Sydney in a house happily crowded with a jumble of fabrics, computers, printers, artwork and projects in progress, and treasured “stuff” too precious to actually use.
Lori Marquette (a.k.a. “Sassy”) is a free-lance artist and certified massage therapist with a growing passion for art, photography, and graphic design combined with fabric, threads, and technology. She has worked with Beth, providing balance and marketing her designs for 16 years. During this time, Lori has renewed her childhood appreciation of quilting and crafting from the many hours spent watching her maternal grandmother hand-quilt and embroider as she was growing up. She brings life-long passion of the healing arts, unique perspective, and a healthy sense of adventure to artistic creativity. This facilitates therapeutic persuasion in her technique and design. It is a privilege for her to share this energy with you.
Lori lives in Fort Wayne, Indiana with sons Tyler & Ryan, and toy poodle Cody.
