Alex Anderson
"Sometimes, life can be very enigmatic. Alex Anderson was enjoying a career as a biochemist until the writing bug bit and life hasn't been the same since. Always an avid reader, Alex was thoroughly immersed in the science fiction and fantasy genres. Enjoying the "Lord of the Rings" books and movie trilogy and wanting more out of the genre led to reading Tolkien fan fiction. Soon after, Anderson decided to write gay fiction and now does it full time. Alex's first book was Possession of Truth, which was published electronically in 2009. Since then, Anderson has co-written Wicked Game (2010) and its sequel, Playing for Keeps, which will be published in 2012. Alex has also written numerous short stories for Joy Boy Island, a fictional Caribbean island setting where homosexuality is accepted. Anderson was born on Feb. 25, 1968 in Norwich, Conn., and is the older of two children. Alex graduated in 1991 from the Connecticut College with a degree in zoology specializing in genetics and molecular biology followed by graduate work in biochemistry and entomology at Rutgers University. Anderson currently resides in Verona, Wisconsin."

Super Simple Quilts #1 - Alex Anderson
introduction
These quilts can be first quilts for beginners or fast quilts for more experienced quilters looking for the perfect gift, donation, or baby quilt.
This book offers
3quilt designs in
3fabric styles in
3sizes with
3layer-securing methods and
3binding techniques.
Choose the size of quilt you want, and from one materials list you can make any of the three quilt designs. This means you can choose a size, shop for fabric (photos of fabric swatches will help you), and then go home and decide which quilt design you want to make. Choose a securing method and binding technique, and you’re done! See how easy?
We have included basic guidance to get you started and a great list of books (page 27) you can refer to if you want more information.
I often have the pleasure of brainstorming with Liz. I always treasure the time together. We each bring our own perspective to the table, and more often than not, they are keenly in sync. One such occasion was in the recent past. We were chatting about what sort of book was needed. As usual, life took its twists and turns, and that conversation was left on the back burner, or so I thought. Several months later I received a call from Liz and she wanted to show me something.
Bingo, her quilts hit the nail on the head. She asked if I would be interested in providing the general quiltmaking instructions for the book and before we knew it, Liz and I were co-authors! We are both very excited about this collaboration—fun, fast, simple projects, perfect for the beginner or the seasoned quilter who wants a quick project, in perfect C&T style.
-Alex
Over the many years that Alex and I have known each other, our relationship has developed through many different experiences: quilt show chairman and vendor, quilting friends/parents, editor and author, and now co-authors. The fun just never ends. With this book, we have combined Alex’s expertise in quiltmaking knowledge, with my design and project writing skills. I hope you have fun with the simple designs, techniques, and many options that await you.
