Susan's father was a talented cabinet maker and her mother was a great seamstress. Between them they taught her the value of working with her hands and how important it is to have a hobby! While growning up the family would start planning in June what they were going to make for Christmas. Of course they would still be up until midnight Christmas Eve trying to get the last stitch stitched or the last coat of varnish on! They were not allowed to buy gifts,they had to be handmade. Sue would tell you that the planning and sneaking around was half the fun! She continues the tradition to this day with her own family.
Susan bought her first quilt frame when she was 18 but didin't actually start quilting until she was 40. She had a variety of hobbies, but when she pulled out that quilt frame, the designer was born! Her quilt studio is next to her home and this is where you will find her quilting, creating and dreaming of her next design. If she isn't off teaching, doing lectures and travelling or in her studio she'll be with friends who share in her passion, a passion for learning, sharing and laughing with other quilters!
