Valerie Bothell has happily taught crazy quilting for more than twenty years and has enjoyed every minute of it. She is the coauthor of Quilting … Just a Little Bit Crazy and the author of Joyful Daily Stitching. Traveling and teaching are very rewarding for her, and she always looks forward to every opportunity to share her love of crazy quilting. Valerie has been married for 28 years and has 4 very handsome sons. When she is not crazy quilting, she loves to go to the beach, read books, and ride her bike with her sweet dog, Daisy. She also enjoys giving Quilts of Valor to veterans who have served or are currently serving in the military. As a proud member of the Daughters of the American Revolution, she also enjoys making quilts that have historical significance.
