My name is Anke Barbara Calzada, founder of abc creative<\/em> and Pasacana<\/em>. I was born in Munich, but I consider myself a true global citizen. My studies took me to Japan, my job to the United States, and the love of my life to South America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For almost 30 years I have been active in various textile arts & crafts, focusing mainly on Patchwork & Quilting. What started as a hobby became more and more my profession over the past ten+ years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a freelance editor for a textile art magazine, I have portrayed a number of renowned textile artists from all over the world over the past years, and for an international online portal, I have co-organized various multicultural community quilting projects, competitions and quilt exhibitions in Germany and abroad for more than ten years now. I am also the co-author of two \u201ePatchwork Puzzle\u201c books, have edited and laid out a good dozen more patchwork books and exhibition catalogs, and helped develop a series of online design courses for quilters and textile creators.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

For more than two decades, I have been a passionate quilt designer creating exclusively my own patterns and layouts for modern utility quilts and other timeless and elegant accessories for a cozy home. Many of my works have been shown in group exhibitions at quilt festivals in Germany and abroad, e.g. at NADELWELT in Karlsruhe<\/a>, the Festival of Quilt in Birmingham, England<\/a>, and the Festival Internacional de Patchwork in Sitges, Barcelona. <\/a>At the beginning of 2022, one of my art quilts became part of the permanent collection ot the International Quilt Museum \u2013 Lincoln, NE<\/a>, USA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also write detailed step-by-step instructions for selected models in cooperation with international magazines for patchwork & quilting and now also sell these \u2013 as well as my one-of-a-kind quilts and home accessories \u2013 under my own label\u00a0PASACANA<\/a>, founded in early 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
