About Us

Nan Baker has been stitching all of her life and created her company, PURRFECT SPOTS to combine her love for needlework and animals. Nan designed cross stitch and needlepoint designs before she started designing quilts. Her designs are displayed on various pages on her website.   She is self taught but takes classes on different techniques whenever she has the opportunity. She has discovered that while machine quilting is great, hand quilting is her favorite.  Her cross stitch and needlepoint designs have appeared in many needlework catalogs since 1996. Her quilting designs have appeared in the Quilting Professional,The Quilt Pattern Magazine, Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks, QuiltsandCreativity.com and on QNNtv.com.  She is the Marketing Director for The Quilt Pattern Magazine.

When not quilting, Nan is promoting animal disaster preparedness. As a member of the Disaster Animal Response Team for The Humane Society of the United States, she has worked fires, floods, hurricanes and tornadoes. As a result of her disaster work, she created The CASEY Plan (Caring for Animals Safely in Emergencies during the Year) which is a nationwide program. She has received several awards because of her efforts. A portion of her sales is donated to animal disaster relief education.
