Welcome to Anna Lena's
I'm so glad you stopped by. I'm Karen Snyder, and this is my e-commerce site. I design quilting fabrics and write quilting books and patterns. Many of these are available at your local quilt shop, and I urge you to support them. However, if you can't find what you need at your neighborhood fabric store, then I'm happy to ship to you. Click here to enter our online store. And be sure to check out my blog.
 My first book, Bundles of Fun, is now in its second printing. I was inspired to write this book to help people use their fat quarters. Each quilt in the book uses just 12 fat quarters. Some have additional background or accent fabric and borders. If you can't resist those wonderful bundles of fat quarters, keep buying them, then turn them into one of the quilts from my book, and you'll be having Bundles of Fun, too!

 For everyone who has made all the quilts from Bundles of Fun (now in its second printing), you now have 12 new projects in my second book, “Fat Quarter Fun”!! Fun Shui, Summer Fun, Fi Fie Foe Fun, Barrels of Fun . . . all made with fat quarters. As with her first book, this one has 12 quilts with easy-to-follow patterns, beautiful illustrations and plenty of information on fabric selection as well as quilting tips. |
 Quilts from My Garden is my third book, and I am so proud of it. Not only does this book contain quilt patterns, it has projects and recipes. But the thing I'm most proud of is the photography. The first two books were photographed in the studio, but this book was photographed in beautiful gardens right here on the Long Beach Peninsula. Many neighbors and friends opened their beautiful gardens to me and photographer Sarah Hillman created stunning photos. http://www.annalena.com/product_info.

 My latest book, Big Print Quilts has arrived! The idea for this book came from all of you--my customers. Over the last few years we have been seeing more and more large scale prints. And, while they are beautiful to look at on the bolt, it can be hard to visualize them in a quilt. So, I started playing around with these fabulous fabrics and before you knew it, I had a stack of them--and a book was born.
Not only does the book show you how to use those large scale floral prints, it also shows you how to use novelty prints, opportunity cloth, embroidered blocks, appliqué blocks, photo transfers and T-shirts in beautiful quilts. http://www.annalena.com/product_info.
