Hello, welcome to my Blog! Let me introduce myself, my name is Susan.  I am married to a wonderful man named Ric, and we have a Brady bunch group of kids, plus three dogs.  I am originally from Montana, after retiring from the military I decided I did not want to live in the cold and was lucky enough to settle in San Antonio.

I started quilting in 1992 at the suggestion of my sister, Julie.  I was moving to Maine and she showed up with one of her “extra” sewing machines.  She added in a quilting class and enough information to give me the quilting bug!  I was an aircraft mechanic at the time, most of my co-workers were guys.  When you are a aircraft mechanic, you do step 1, step 2, step 3 and you do not deviate.  Quilting gave me so much joy and freedom!  It was a great way to connect with other women every time I moved, and the creative outlet that I craved. BONUS, if you change the pattern or don’t follow the pattern it doesn’t matter because no one will die!!!!  Oh the freedom quilters have.

I was lucky enough to be able to teach quilting from 2001-2003, but then my life got a little crazy so I had to take a hiatus from teaching.  I found so much joy in teaching, sharing my knowledge, and meeting great people, it was sad to let it go. Ric and I moved into a new house in 2013 about the same time Sew Special Quilt moved from Boerne, Texas to about five minutes down the highway from us. And to top if off, in 2015 they were looking for new quilting teachers, so now I am back to sharing my knowledge and meeting new friends!

I hope you enjoy what I have to share.  I am new at blogging, if you have any suggestions along the way please drop me a line.

Thanks, happy quilting!

Susan
