Bio:
Susan designs patterns for appliqué, rug hooking, punch needle, stitchery and wool and wire. She enjoys doing all of these art forms. Her appliqué patterns have been featured in Better Homes & Gardens Holiday Crafts and the Quilt Sampler for which she is so proud.
Susan has always loved to draw and create, so being able to make a pattern came natural for her. Her love of rug hooking is one of her favorites. She has never had formal training in rug hooking, but learned much of what she needed from a quilt shop owner that she worked with for many years. With the encouragement from that shop owner, she started drawing her own designs and has now been a designer for seven years as Susan Gonzales Designs. You can find her on her Etsy shop.
Susan loves wool appliqué, she thinks it’s like playing with paper dolls. She also loves the process of making a pattern, drawing the design, creating the project and writing the instructions. She is dyslectic and try’s real hard to write a pattern that everyone understands along with a clear stitch guide to make the process a pleasure. She has found that her designs can fit in with her love of rug hooking, punch needle, and wool and wire, along with appliqué and stitchery. She is full of creative designs and can’t wait to get the next one on paper.
