About

Suzanne Earley

Suzanne is the administrator and owner of MQResource. Right at the moment she is a one-woman operation, but hopes to add some helpers to make MQResource an even better resource for machine quilters.

Suzanne has been a longarm quilter since December 2001. She teaches machine quilting classes, self-publishes machine quilting design books, and also makes the occasional quilt. She does not quilt for customers much, although she says she is going to start that back up again any day now.

She is married to Mark and they have twin boys (Will and Joe) who are 9 years old. The household is completed by Katie, a cocker spaniel.

Suzanne is also an avid reader and watcher of SciFi TV shows. She has discovered a new hobby: digital scrapbooking and can't get enough of Photoshop. Thanks to her Mom, she has also discovered knitting and has way too many knitting projects in progress or planned.

Her website can be found at Salt Creek Quilt Company and her blog is at Art, Quilts and Other Adventures. On top of everything else, she opened a small fabric/yarn shop in August of 2008, you can visit her shop: Knots & Bolts.

The "P" word

Our world is full of people wanting shortcuts. We want to have everything and we don't want to wait -- we want what we want and we want it right now. The situation with the US financial system is certainly indicative of that...but I'm not here to talk about such an unpleasant topic!!

As quilters we are no different -- we want to produce beautiful quilting and we want to do it yesterday. Now, I'll grant you that there are some prodigies in the machine quilting world, but those prodigies are pretty few and far between. The rest of us have to work at our craft, and what may look effortless is actually the result of many long years of hard work.

Practice might be spelled with 8 letters, but I'm sure many people consider it a "4-letter" word -- one that you'd rather not hear in your house and try to use as little as possible. I'm here to tell you, though, that this particular "P" word and several of its friends are not as horrible as you might think, and I'd like to give you some tips and ideas about how to effectively practice.
