Class Description: Dr. Susan Kruszynski will share with you a project found in both of her books on art quilting--the art of collage landscaping on the fronts of blank cards. Kit includes fabrics, cards, and envelopes to make a variety of five cards and a copy of her book, Starter Guide to Creating Art Quilts. The cards are quite easy and so much fun to create.

Instructor bio:
Dr. Susan Kruszynski lives in Muskegon, Michigan, and is an award-winning art quilt designer, teacher, author, and gallery artist. Feeding her artistic nature, Susan, at age 8, started experimenting with fabrics to produce colorful creations. She began landscape fiber art design with collage art quilts in 2014. A native of Michigan, her works, that range in sizes from 3”x5” to 40”x60”, are often inspired by the trees and woodlands along the Lake Michigan shoreline. Susan currently divides her time between creating original collaged art quilt designs, teaching art quilting, marketing this fiber art in shows and galleries, running her Quilting Fabrics in Time business, and only just recently retired as a literacy specialist from Muskegon Community College. Susan uses her 40+ years of K-College level teaching experiences and a PhD in Education to teach this art through in-class experiences in and around the state of Michigan, through on-line instruction, and with art quilt books from Fox-Chapel Publishing.
