Colleen Tauke is a quilter, designer, and quilt educator with 40+ years of sewing experience. Of those, the last 17 years have been centered around quilting.

"Early in my quilting endeavors, I was challenged to piece a quilt that seemed daunting—fussy cutting, y-seams, strip piecing, hourglass blocks, a pieced border, and appliqué—and that was all in ONE quilt! It was my first bed-sized quilt that would later become a quilt shop sample and win a third place ribbon at the Iowa Sate Fair in the 'My First Quilt' division. I was hooked!"
