Like all good tales, this one started long ago when an awkward 8 year old learned to spin with a drop spindle and sew on an old Singer sewing machine. That love of fiber sat pretty dormant until my husband badgered me into going to an alpaca farm. Since that trip, I have fallen in love with my Ashford Traveler spinning wheel all over again. I bought a Majacraft Rose and am now a certified retailer of Ashford spinning and weaving products. I have replaced my old mechanical Singer with a Pfaff and added a serger, a needle felter, a ten needle embroidery machine, a mid arm quilting machine, and my APQS Millie long arm machine. While I enjoy quilt design and piecing, what sets me on fire is free motion quilting where I can add depth and movement and life.
From start to finish, we are your partner in creativity. Whether you design from scratch or appreciate a finished handmade product, we want to work with you.

A Little About Susan:
Owner, Creator, Designer
A now retired educator by trade, I have always loved to create and learn. I learned to spin initially from the most delightful little old nurse at a boy scout camp when I was 8. (And that is a whole other story!) Initially, I worked with sheep's wool but did not enjoy the feel of it. Almost two decades ago, my husband and I bought our first alpaca and the next step was an incredible love affair with fiber of all kinds.
We complete the entire process on the farm from breeding and raising the animals to shearing to processing the fiber and the creation of each piece. I do all the shearing myself. I love the process and knowing the animals so well. I spin, felt, sew, quilt, and design - my brain literally never stops. (Yes, I am one of those people who wake up in the night dreaming of new projects!) I would like to think that does not make me strange but I guess it kind of does.
I am a long arm quilter certified through APQS and my APQS longarm Millie and I are best friends (most days...) If you are a quilter with a beautiful top hiding in your closet, let’s talk about how to set it free and finish that dream. I love hearing the people’s quilting stories and helping people move to completion. Please contact me to schedule a consultation about your project!
My personal fiber art journey is now stretching into art quilts using multiple techniques and materials including non-standard items such as metal. Interested in learning more? Send me a message!
