What’s a rebel quilter? I am! I follow my own path, break rules where they get in my way, and have way more fun than most would allow! I am respectful enough of tradition to use its strengths but not enough to feel encumbered by it. I’m not afraid of tangents — willing to blaze a new trail or follow a secret one. As a quilter, it means that I generally work in 3 layers — a top layer containing the images or design, a middle layer of batting (usually cotton or wool) and a third layer or backing. These layers are attached to each other via thread that is artistically sewn as well as a binding or facing. I stop far short of the traditional quilting rules. I often use raw edge appliqué, I almost never do hand quilting. I also go way beyond the traditional stopping point — I add embellishments seldom found on a bed quilt — beads, foils, naked bodies… oh my! Susan is primarily self taught in all areas of surface design including dyeing, quilting, fabric manipulation, pattern design, thread painting & beading. She has attended workshops with Caryl Bryer Fallert, David Walker and many more. Awards
