About the Author

Picture
Freelance writer Judi Ketteler is never happier than when she’s merging her two passions: Sewing and writing. She’s written DIY and decorating stories for a wide variety of outlets, such as AOL’s ShelterPop.com, American Baby, Better Homes & Gardens, Country Gardens, Creative Home, Do It Yourself, Natural Health, Quilts & More, and many others. Judi first learned to sew in high school. While other girls were buying Guess tapered jeans and Forenza sweaters, she was cutting out patterns for skirts and learning how to quilt. She paid her way through college by working at a fabric store, earning a B.A. in English from Northern Kentucky University followed by an M.A. in English from Miami University of Ohio.

She lives in a tiny retro-infused Cape Cod home in Cincinnati, Ohio, with her husband, Allen Raines; 4-year-old son, Max; and 2-year-old daughter, Georgia.
