Autobiography::

With a background of sewing and crafts, I made my first quilt, a Log Cabin in 1974. Since 1983 my specialty has been one-of-a kind pictorial quilts made with both applique and piecing techniques. My quilts have won many prestigious awards; among them-second place in the first Great American Quilt Contest, several first places at the American Quilter's Society Show and two Best of Shows at Houston International Quilt Festival.

I teach and lecture locally, nationally and internationally. I hid membership in Utah Quilt Guild, the American Quilters Society, the American International Quilt Association, the National Quilt Association, and Studio Art Quilt Associates.

My first book, FACES &PLACES-IMAGES IN APPLIQUE published by C&T Publishing will be released in the Fall of 1995. It will explain my unique techniques for layering to obtain a shaded and dimensional look.

As to my teaching, I encourage students to sift through my techniques, using them to draw out visions and creativity. I hope to help them express their own personal concepts and to realize that quiltmaking is a viable art form. -C. W. Anderson
