About Ana Galán
Ana Galán, a Spain native, discovered her passion for quilting through a friend who cherished a quilt lovingly made by his mother during his travels. Witnessing the care and dedication that went into that quilt, Ana felt inspired to create her own quilts to share with her children. She thrives on pushing the boundaries of traditional quilting to design unique patterns like the quilted shawls.
Ana's artistic journey also led to the exhibition of her art quilt, "The Quilter’s Hands," at the Great Wisconsin Quilt Show in October 2022. Her shawl pattern, "Sedona Desert," was featured in the American Quilter September 2023 magazine. With 21 shawl patterns published, Ana organizes shawl sew-alongs and retreats in the USA, attracting participants from around the world, including Australia, Canada, and the UK.In addition to her quilting endeavors, Ana is a prolific children’s book author with over 80 published works.

"Please don't hesitate you will have new friends from across the country for a life time. It is fun and regardless if you are an older beginner or an advanced quilter you will learn and pass your experience on to others. You will not be disappointed. PS I am a shy person and relaxed and had a great time."

"This is the first trip of this kind that I have taken and am already saving to take another! Our "bus moms" Sandra and Nancy were beyond great! The value of the experience, tours, acoomodations, etc. were well worth the price of the trip!."

"For transitioning from cruising to land for a quilt retreat, Stitchin Heaven did an amazing job. There were lots of little gifts and surprises along the way. Chocolate was handed out when called for. The excursion to the fabric shop was lovely and the lunch they provided top notch. The trip to the Titanic Museum was one that I will not forget for a very long time."
