Kim Brackett developed an interest in quilting in 1988 after admiring a collection of vintage quilts displayed in an antique shop. She began gathering tools, fabrics, and patterns and finally finished her first quilt 10 years later. Since then she has completed countless quilts, many of which have been featured in her books. Kim has written five books published by Martingale and has contributed her work to many others, as well as Martingale’s yearly wall calendars. Kim works full-time as a paralegal in Pensacola, Florida, and is a member of the Pensacola Quilters Guild.
