Anne Bright is a celebrated quilter, designer, and author, renowned for her exquisite quilting designs. Her intricate motifs and flowing lines are loved for their simplicity and ease of quilting, making them accessible to quilters of all skill levels. Anne's designs combine beauty with practicality, ensuring that each pattern is both creative and easy to enjoy. All of her patterns are hand-drawn before being digitized. Anne sees things in continuous line.

Anne developed a smooth, continuous quilting technique that allows quilters to work from edge to edge with minimal interlock. This fluid approach led to the creation of her famous B2B (Border-to-Border) quilting method, which saves time, batting, backing, thread, and frustration. B2B lets quilters move seamlessly across the quilt, creating beautiful, uninterrupted designs. Anne aims for a "perfectly imperfect" look, as though the quilting were done freehand. She believes that a good quilt design should flow naturally, creating texture across the fabric, and she ensures the backs of her quilts are just as beautiful.

Another of Anne's signature methods is her Little Sisters technique, where a single triangle serves as the foundation for an entire set. These continuous-line triangles are perfect for achieving speed and accuracy in custom quilting, while offering flexibility in design density. Little Sisters will also enhance applique, embroidery, and paper piecing, making them stand out.

As a quilter herself, Anne always keeps fellow quilters and the process in mind when creating new patterns. She’s dedicated to making each design as simple and enjoyable as possible, paying close attention to thread direction, fabric behavior, and the latest trends. Anne understands that quilters, especially those working professionally, need speed and efficiency to complete their projects. She designs with these needs in mind, ensuring that her patterns deliver high-quality results with minimal effort. Anne's love of thread is evident in her work, as she believes it adds depth and detail to each quilt, enhancing its beauty.

Anne supported herself through college by substitute teaching, face painting, and creating continuous line contour drawings, which inspired her books, the Simply Continuous series, that are now downloadable. Her background with degrees in Art and Psychology gives her a unique perspective, blending artistic vision with emotional depth in her quilts. Anne loves creating beauty both in her yard and home as well as connecting with her pets—two dogs, Tartan and Oliver, and two cats, Thackeray and Shadow.
