Sue Spargo visited Australia

Recently the amazing Sue Spargo, quilt maker and teacher extraordinaire visited Australia for a teaching tour. Sue teaches beautiful quilt designs often highly embellished with hand embroidery. You can see some of her gorgeous work at the blog of Addicted to Fabric, which was one of the shops she visited while she was here.

I was hoping to meet Sue while she was here, but the only time that was even slightly possible was going to the opening of the Hunters Hill Quilt Exhibition. Unfortunately I was unable to make it to that, so I didn’t get to meet her and thank her in person.

Thank her? Yes. You see Sue Spargo is a wonderful promoter of my stitch dictionaries, The Left-Handed Embroiderer’s Companion and The Right-Handed Embroiderer’s Companion. I am incredibly grateful to Sue for her enthusiastic recommendations of my books. In a recent email to me she said “Thanks for the great books. I have used both your books for a while and have sold hundreds of them to my students.”

The thanks go both ways! Thank you Sue, for telling so many other people about how useful you find my books. I am so very grateful to you for your kindness!

Do go and explore Sue’s blog and see all the wonderful stitching!
