About the Author

Linda Schapper's artistic vision is expressed in a wide range of media, from patchwork quilts and crochet to painting and liturgical textiles, all of which are characterised by a folk-art style. She has travelled and taught extensively in more than 30 countries, had some 100 exhibits of her patchwork quilts and written eight books, four of them on crochet. Linda lives in Orlando, Florida.
