Helen Frost began quilting in 1972 and started teaching in 1974. Those were the exciting days of discovery and innovation. She and her mother, Blanche Young, developed new, strip-pieced methods for making traditional designs including the Lone Star, Sunshine & Shadow, and Nine-Patch. Their books on these subjects were best-sellers.
Helen is the co-author of eleven books including Grand Endeavors: Vintage Arizona Quilts and Their Makers, the Arizona state quilt project publication. She has taught at guilds and conferences across the country and in Europe. In 2001, she and her mother were honored as Women who Challenged Quiltmaking at International Quilt Market and Festival in Houston, Texas.
Helen was inducted into the Arizona Quilter’s Hall of Fame in 2009. She continues to explore her favorite quilt designs and cannot begin to count how many Lone Star and Nine-Patch quilts she has made! Helen and her husband live in Tucson, Arizona and are the parents of four grown children. They are also the proudest grandparents of three boys and one girl!
