Rachel Thomas Pellman lives in Lancaster, PA, where, she says, “I am grateful to live in an area where weekend bike rides and long walks take me on back roads, through meadows, fields, and gardens abundant with flowers, crops, trees, birds, and animals. They fill my mind with beauty and wonder. It is the simplicity of this earthiness, warmth, and basic rootedness that inspires my designs.”Rachel and her husband, Kenny, own and operate Rachel’s of Greenfield. Rachel designs and produces kits for small applique and pieced wall quilts, ornament kits, and punchneedle embroidery kits. Rachel’s kits are wonderfully complete. With everything in hand, quiltmakers, ornament makers, and punchneedle enthusiasts from novice to expert can have the satisfaction of completing a project.Rachel has authored several books on quilting: Quilted Projects with Wool and Wool Felt, Amish Wall Quilts, Tips for Quilters, and The World of Amish Quilts.
