Welcome Fellow Quilter's and Crafter's,
My name is Anisa and I am a Crafter extraordinaire, lover of quilts and all things Cricut!
I have been quilting for about 30 years and I even have some of the fabric left over from that time to prove it! I know, it's horrifying! It just goes to show that I must in fact be a fabric hoarder! :)
You might be wondering where I got my name from. In addition to being a Crafter Extraordinaire, I am also a published author. I have in fact published six novels in the Romance Suspense genre.
I look forward to teaching and showing you how to make beautiful quilts and crafts for your loved ones and maybe even a little something for yourself!

This was one of the hardest quilts that I have ever made. It is all foundation paper piecing and I worked on it every day. I am still so proud of this beautiful quilt. The feeling of accomplishment and joy that I had when it was finished was nothing short of amazing! I couldn’t believe that I had made it! Share a photo of your biggest quilting accomplishment in the comments below. 🩷 #thecraftyauthor #quilting #quiltingaccomplishments #favoritequilts

QUILTING GAME CHANGER! 🚨 Stop ironing and start pressing! 🧵 Sliding your iron stretches your seams, but lifting and pressing vertically keeps your blocks perfect and accurate. Trust me, your quilt will love you for it! ✨ Happy Quilting! 💖 #TheCraftyAuthor

KEEPING IT REAL! 🧵💖 AI can’t replicate the soul of a handmade quilt. I’m sticking to real demos: mistakes, triumphs, and all! You deserve the authentic process, not a shortcut. Let’s create something real together! ✨
Happy Quilting! ✂️
