I'm Susan, living in Maryland with 4 cats, 1 long-suffering husband, and a hobby room that got out of control ages ago! I've only begun quilting after sewing for years, doing needlework of several varieties and running my own jewelry design/fabrication business since 1997. Oh, yeah, in my spare time I'm a veterinary technician. Chronologically I'm 55 years old (don't tell my brain, it thinks it's somewhere about 30!). Looking forward to ideas and meeting everyone. :D
