Bunnie Cleland is a long-time crafter and sewist who fell in love with quilting in 2006, after her mother dragged her to a quilt show and shop hop. She was hired at a local quilt shop before she even finished her first quilting class, and went on to complete 12 quilts that first year.

Bunnie’s quilt pattern business started by accident in 2013 when she arranged some triangles into a quilting project and was then prompted to write down her directions into patterns. High demand for the patterns by quilters, retailers, and fabric companies resulted in the creation of Artistically Engineered Designs and Triangle Frenzy® patterns. She now globally distributes visually stunning quilting patterns, including table runners, table toppers, lap quilts, and bed-sized quilts. 

As a former Navy Electronics Technician and Naval Nuclear Power Plant Reactor Operator, Bunnie understands the importance of precision and accuracy. She discovered she has the talent for translating complex directions into easy-to-follow instructions. This aided her in the creation of Triangle Frenzy's detailed, step-by-step illustrations, even for beginners and non-quilters.

Bunnie is also able to use her technical background and problem solving skills in teaching sewing techniques to students, guiding them through the creative process that will help them succeed at quilting, whether they're crafting a handbag or stitching a bed quilt. On the rare occasion when Bunnie is not quilting, she enjoys photography, digital scrapbooking, trading pins, Disney Cruises, and organizing just about everything. She and her husband, Bruce, live in Chesapeake, Virginia, and have two grown children.
