Judi Ketteler left her boring 9-5 for the wonderful world of shelter writing, where she's contributed to Better Homes & Gardens, American Baby, and Country Gardens, among others. Long enthralled with fabric, her first book, Sew Retro: A Stylish History of the Sewing Revolution + 25 Vintage-Inspired Projects for the Modern Girl is due out July 2010 (Voyageur Press). She also writes health and fitness stories, runs marathons (slowly), and teaches Pilates. Find more at judiketteler.com.
