Tonight's Program
Susan is a former Salem County resident, now living in New Castle County DE. A studio at her home is currently under construction. She is a fabulous designer of wool applique, punch needle and rug hooking. Even better, she is a fantastic teacher who goes the extra mile to ensure that each person participating is at ease and is able to finish their project. She and her daughter circulated among those doing the project offering help as needed. She answered everyone's questions and offered countless tips and techniques throughout the evening. Definitely check out her website for the beautiful things she creates.
Not only she is a fantastic teacher, she puts together a great kit. For our class, she had all the pattern pieces and all the wool already cut out for us. Below is Pat L.'s finished tulip pillow
