I Love You This Much
by Leanne Anderson
Leanne Anderson, owner of The Whole Country Caboodle has been designing kits
and patterns since 1992. She is located in Nashua, Iowa, where her design studio is
nestled out in the country overlooking the beautiful Cedar Lake where she works
side by side with her mom, Jan and daughter, Kaytlyn. Leanne is not new to the
fabric industry as she has been designing fabric for the past 16 years. Her whimsical
characters are generally the focus of her designs, both in fabric, patterns and kits.
Leanne loves to work with color and finds a real passion in putting together prints,
plaids and solids, where truly she feels that God gets the credit for her abilities. A
few of her signature items are her “Caboodles in a Box” packaged in polka dot boxes, her “Alphabet Soup Quilts” & “Rugs in a Mug”.
When Leanne isn’t designing, she is spending time with her husband Ed, 3 beautiful
grandchildren; Toby, Leighton, Finley, and Maxwell or hanging out with grown children; Shelby and husband Tim, Taylor and wife Amy, and daughter Kaytlyn.
