Arrowhead Star    (16"x16"x1")
This is a hand-pieced quilt square from the 1900’s which was unfinished. The two inner borders were added by Suzi, and then she quilted and finished it with the "Suzi’s Hang Art" method. The turn of the century fabrics are a pleasure to have on display in one's home.

Basket of blues   (16"x16"x1")
This is a hand-pieced quilt square from the 1930’s which was unfinished. This is one of Suzi's first "found" quilt squares and therefore it is a favorite art piece. Suzi quilted and finished it in 1984 with the "Suzi’s Hang Art" method. Suzi hangs this piece on point as well as many others that are "balanced" designs.

Brown Beauty    (16"x16"x1")
This is a hand-pieced quilt square from the 1900’s which was unfinished. Suzi's knowledge of antique quilts started in Barbara Brackman's workshops. The fabric selection is so special, the creator must have been a most unique woman. All art pieces are sprayed with a stain resistant product.

Butterflies Are Free   (24"x24"x1")
This was appliqued in the later 1930’s, but never finished into a quilt. The background diamond quilting is done with masking tape marking the lines to be stitched. The framing process is as simple as 1-2-3-Done.

Easter Trip    (22"x22"x1")
This is a traditional trip around the world or postage stamp pattern, pieced in the 1930’s. Suzi finished it with the "Suzi’s Hang Art" method. The actual finishing process takes less than 30 minutes.

Grandmother’s
Flowergarden   (24"x24"x1")
This was hand-pieced in the later 1940’s, but never finished into a quilt. Suzi quilted and framed it with the "Suzi’s Hang Art" method and made it into a stunning art piece. Suzi was commissioned to do a similar piece with five of the client's heirloom flowers connected horizontally. It was hung as a headboard 18" above the bed.

Poinsettia    (22"x22"x1")
This is a hand-appliqued quilt square from the 1930’s which was unfinished. Suzi added the center dark green strips which gave direction and contrast to the art piece. She then quilted and finished it with the "Suzi’s Hang Art" method. The way you finish family art pieces will have a great influence on whether they are passed on as family heirlooms.

Rose of Sharon    (18"x18"x1")
This appliqued center was done around the 1940’s and never finished into a quilt. Suzi quilted and finished it with the "Suzi’s Hang Art" method. This is a nice idea to do with family pieces which are tucked away and almost forgotten. Suzi brings many of her art pieces when she does programs through out the nation.
