“The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires.” – William Arthur Ward, American Writer

Top 10 reasons to take a Quilting with Sue class:

#10 Everyone loves quilts! They provide beauty, warmth, and comfort and soothe the soul.
#9 Some come to hang out with like-minded folks. Others simply find quilting relaxing and rejuvenating when the stresses of daily life take their toll.
#8 Perhaps you would like to learn to make something you will treasure as a keepsake or give as a forever gift that conveys to the recipient how very special they are to you.
#7 Is there a special event you’d like to commemorate? Quilts can celebrate a student’s graduation in the form of a T-Shirt quilt or welcome a new baby. A signature quilt can commemorate a special family gathering or give friends a format to bid farewell to one moving away.
#6 Perhaps you regretted that you never learned to quilt from your grandmother? It is never too late to learn. Whether you are a beginner wanting to learn the basics, or a quilter wanting to build on your confidence or explore more advanced techniques, Sue teaches all interests and skill levels and small classes mean you get more personalized instruction.
#5 Maybe you’ve been privately building a stash of fabrics and, short of qualifying as a hoarder, you need to learn to creatively put them to good use.
#4 There is no long-term commitment to taking a class. You can simply check that line-item on your bucket list, never quilting again if you want… though, like potato chips, it is hard to stop at just one.
#3 Sue strives first to pass along her passion for quilting and next to see her students successfully complete their quilted piece. While UFO’s (un-finished objects) are inevitable, Sue structures her classes with completion in mind.
#2 While she ‘can’ and has, Sue isn’t satisfied to simply teach her students to re-create a pattern, she delights in teaching techniques that bring out and develop the creative quilter within… and in so doing, Sue successfully inspires her students.
#1 Sue makes quilting fun!

Encouragement for my quilting students…

An Amish quilter once told me not to worry about making a quilt perfect… and should I ever make a “perfect quilt”, I should immediately insert an imperfection, for only God is perfect.

Put another way, Miles Davis said it best, “Do not fear mistakes, there are none.”
