Love of Quilting Itinerary

Alaska • May 21–28, 2011

 

GAIL KESSLER

Living in the best of both worlds, Gail’s weekdays find her in the heart of New York City in the fashion district between the Empire State Building and Times Square in her Broadway office at Andover Fabrics. On weekends her country soul is satisfied at her farm and quilt shop in the heart of the beautiful, historic Oley Valley, PA. This continuous change of scenery provides a perspective of style and color that shines through her work as a Marketing Director, fabric designer, quilt designer, and quilt maker. Her work has been featured in countless publications and she has lectured and taught quiltmaking nationwide, and has appeared on QNNTV and Fons and Porter’s Love of Quilting TV. Gail is known for her cheerful, warm, enabling, sharing nature and her mad skills with color and technique. When not consumed in fabric, Gail loves to cook, garden, raise chickens, play with her golden retriever Rosie, practice yoga, weightlift, and box. She is the mother of two grown sons and grandmother of the next in a long line of quilters, Matilyn.

JEAN NOLTE

Jean Nolte is the editor of all the Fons & Porter magazines, and is also the editorial director of Love of Quilting on public television. She has been quilting for nearly thirty years, and is always excited to try a new technique. Her fabric stash contains more yardage than she could possibly use in a lifetime, but she is having lots of fun trying. When not quilting, she loves to travel, knit, or spend time with her family.
