Home: on the road in her RV somewhere near YOU! Limited in-person engagements for 2020-2022 are available, however Suzi is offering Zoom presentations and workshops!
Author of Barn Quilts and the American Quilt Trail Movement, Suzi will take you on a journey along the quilt trail, beginning with the very first barn quilt, which stemmed from Donna Sue Groves and her wish to honor her mother’s quilting art.
Suzi’s presentation features over one hundred stunning photographs of barn quilts, some of which rival cloth quilts in their intricacy. You will hear stories of some of the individuals who have painted quilt blocks to honor loved ones or their local culture, along with a few humorous anecdotes.
In addition to guilds, shows, and retreats, Suzi has lectured at Quilt Week in Paducah, Quilt Festival in Houston, The
International Quilt Museum, and online via ZOOM. Her barn quilt painting workshop is immensely popular, with many guilds booking return visits for additional classes. Details can be found on her website, www.barnquiltinfo.com Click on “Author Contact/Events” to find out when Suzi will be in your area and remember that because she travels year round in her RV, she might be closer to your guild than you think!
Suzi is now booking only about twenty guilds per year. As the years progress to 2024 and beyond, she plans to travel more via plane and car than RV, so grab her quickly while she’s still on the road! Contact her at suziparron @ gmail.com [remove spaces]

Some comments on Suzi’s presentation:
The beautiful Barn Quilt photos and their poignant stories were brought to life so eloquently by Suzi. I highly recommend Suzi’s Barn Quilt presentation to your guild. Anyone who enjoys quilts will love her presentation; add in the topics of barns both old and new, along with beautiful photos of rural America and you have a program that is sure to please!
Suzi’s presentation was well planned — a wonderful slide show of many of the barns she had visited, accompanied by excerpts from her book. Her narrative about how she became interested in barn quilts was entertaining and Suzi shared some very heartwarming stories of the people whose barn quilts she visited.
I was so pleased with your presentation and the responses/feedback — all of them — were so positive! You were a great addition to our event and thank you for participating.
I get a comfy feeling when I think about all the barns you brought with you! Your program was, in a word, outstanding!
Be sure to tell Suzi that you found her on The Quilters Calendar!
