Anna Faustino was born in St. Petersburg, Russia. The stars must have been smiling that day because an artist was born. Making dresses for her dolls lead to making her own clothes and embellishing the costumes of the performers at the Kirov Theater (now known as the Mariinsky Theatre). Anna has always enjoyed creating beautiful things. After immigrating to the United States, Anna discovered the world of quilting, and her imagination went wild. Beginning with some basic designs, she quickly started experimenting with her own designs and techniques, leading her to write her first book, Simply Stunning Woven Quilts. The colorful art quilts she creates are truly works to admire and to inspire quilters to think outside the box and see that there are no limits to what one can do with fabrics. This book is a testament to the possibilities of creativity in art and discovering different and exciting quilting techniques. www.NewTechQuilts.com
