Shannon Brinkley is a quilt and fabric designer, author, and speaker based in Austin, TX. She began quilting in college, where she fell in love with the craft. Inspired by her love of fabric and texture, Shannon wrote her book, Scrappy Bits Appliqué, in which she teaches how to turn scraps of fabric into gorgeous, modern art quilts by collaging a variety of fabrics, vintage and new, with different colors, tones, and patterns to create interesting and unique textures. On her popular blog, she has hosts series on a variety of topics, from appliqué to color theory.
