Sue is a longtime quilter who discovered the way to applique in about 2009 although she has been quilting since the mid 1970’s. Before that she pieced everything and hoped that no applique would be involved. Since then, she has discovered the delights and pitfalls of sewing little circles, houses, leaves, stems, and various other items onto her quilts. Her use of color and pattern gives her quilts their very own personality which she tries to change with each new project.
Prepared Edge Applique is Fun and Easy – 45-minute lecture/demo ($150, Zoom only)
Sue will talk about and demonstrate how to use the prepared edge method of applique to achieve those lovely round circles and edges common in her work. Her lecture includes information on and demonstration of how to prepare your project, make the extra items like bias stems and circles, the use of different basting techniques, and how to set up an applique block to its best advantage.
Sue happily answers any questions regarding her demonstration. Contact her via email at sglass1946 @ gmail.com [take out spaces]
I watched Sue’s demo twice and LOVED it! She has an even, easy manner and describes things thoroughly and yet is very entertaining with her personal experiences. I learned so much and LOVED her little tips and tricks! Both times the guild members congratulated the Program Chair on such a good find for their presentation 🙂 ~Marguerita
Here’s a short intro that describes Sue’s Presentation.
Sue’s Bio
Sue is a retired federal civil servant who spent 30 years working mostly in the Air Force space system (read Satellite) business as a logistics management specialist. She has a Master’s Degree in Public Administration. She traveled extensively for work to such exotic locations as the Marshall Islands, Hawaii, and Colorado. Sue is a member of South Bay Quilters Guild in Torrance California where she served as president and quilt show chair on several occasions. She is also a member of Flying Geese Quilt Guild in Irvine California. She was a partner in The Traveling Quilters, a tour service for quilters, from 1994-2014. This partnership allowed her to visit quilt shows and shops all over the United States, and she learned early on to leave plenty of room in her suitcase.
Sue and her husband Larry have two sons and two daughters-in-law, six grandchildren, and two great grandchildren with number 3 on the way. No kitties at present but she keeps a big bag of Milkbones in the kitchen for the neighbor’s dog.
