Natalia Whiting Bonner has enjoyed piecing quilt tops for more than twenty years. In 2007, when she was pregnant with her daughter, she got the crazy idea to quit her job as a dental assistant and become a longarm quilter. Natalia's passion for quilting and being creative has grown each day since. Natalia blogs at pieceandquilt.com.
