Anita Shackelford has been a quiltmaker since 1967 and began teaching in 1980. She is an internationally recognized teacher and lecturer whose skill in appliqué and fine hand quilting have taken her across the US and to many other parts of the world. The current Modern Quilt Movement has also drawn her in and she is happily designing and quilting in that style, too.

Her quilts have been exhibited in shows across the United States, in Australia and Japan, winning many awards, including twelve Best Of Show and many for workmanship. Two of her quilts have received the Mary Krickbaum Award for best hand quilting at a National Quilting Association show. Her quilts have also been published in many books and magazines.
