Wendy Sheppard is originally from southeast Asia. She came to the United States for her tertiary education. With degrees in Chemical Engineering and years later, she now lives with her family in northern Virginia. An entirely happenstance quilter in that she had never even touched a sewing machine until she was in her early 30' s, she enjoys every aspect of quilting. She enjoys even more when she gets to share the joy of needle and thread with others. Her work has been published in many US quilting publications, as well as in Australia, UK and France.
