News & Notes
July 2010

Inspiration for Susan's work comes from her passion for fly fishing and her fabrics, collected over many years from all over the country. Batik, hand painted, hand dyed, and ethnic cotton fabrics are all abundant in her extensive collection. Susan's designs are original and pieced and quilted by machine with occassional touches of applique, paint, ink, and embroidery.
Her pictorials are created from full scalle line drawings interpreted from a photograph and/or sketch.
Also in her repetoire are geometric and abstract designs.
