Meet Sue Rhodes - a Quilter and Patchworker
Interviews with Quilting Artists • Educational, G, 20-Dec-2019
Sue loves English Paper Piecing. In this interview we learn about a new design she has created using the Dresden Plate petal as her starting point. She has designed the petals in two sizes and being English Paper Piecing, it is very portable and scrap friendly.
She also loves thermofax screen printing, which she combines with embroidery, using both commercial screens and some made for her. Here are the details of her contact: Screens4Printing.
And finally, we learn about her recent trip to the Quilt Festival in Houston, where quilters share their tips and techniques. Sue learnt how to sew the New York Beauty block quickly.
