Introduction	Joanne Kerton, owner of Canuck Quilter Designs, LLC, was bitten by the quilting bug almost 20 years ago, paper piecing and hand quilting her first quilt over the course of a year and a half. Her speed has improved since then, though enjoying the process ranks higher than speed in her book! She enjoys playing with shapes, colours and layouts, and figuring out the math that goes with them. While she has been dabbling in quilt design for at least 15 years, she only started sharing them as patterns in 2013. She has since had designs published in American Patchwork and Quilting magazine and begun speaking and teaching about quilting. She draws on previous experiences studying Physics and working in museum education programming to create clear, organized patterns and to plan her quilting classes, and thinks she has finally figured out what she wants to be when she grows up: a quilter!
