    Jacquie Scuitto

    Born and grew up in Maine, attended college and lived in upstate New York, then in Italy and Germany for 25 years. Returned to the States and spent 16 years on Long Island before moving to Vermont in 2003. Started quilting in 1991 and after joining several on-line quilting groups began writing light verse inspired by what was being discussed there. With award winning quilter Ann Fahl 'A Black and White Tale' with her quilts and my verses was published last year. I now live with two cats in a small Vermont city and make quilts for Project Linus and communicate with many friends through the Internet. I also make regular trips to Germany where my two daughters and 6 grandchildren still live.
