Brenda Reid and Anneliese Johnson are a dynamic mother-daughter stitching duo. They both live in southeastern Nebraska and started designing quilt patterns under the name Eye Candy Quilts in 2010. Brenda has lived all over the United States and western Europe. Each move exposed her to new influences and places to explore, including local quilt guilds and museums. Brenda has always been fascinated with history. She loves learning about people's everyday lives, especially how they crafted and created textiles on a daily basis. Anneliese grew up in Brenda's sewing room. One of her earliest memories is stitching buttons onto scraps of old curtain fabric. She eventually went to college to be a fashion designer and play with fabric full time. Fashion didn't stick. Quilts did.
