The needleart world is filled with some of the nicest people and you meet them in the coolest ways.

I just went to log into blogger to post and as I wasn’t paying attention to what I was doing I simply typed my name in a block and hit return. Well, who knew, I am listed on other people’s blogs. That’s a huge compliment.

I start looking at the various blogs and get completely sucked into one and who knew it belongs to the President of our local EGA chapter. I met Susan about a year ago at a class taught by Betty Chen Louis. Susan is one of those people you just want to be around. She has a great energy that you just want to be around.

Her blog is so much more animated than mine. It’s lots of fun to read. She’s an avid Japanese Embroiderer who will graduate in October 2007. That means she will be able to teach!!!! I don’t know if she has any plans to or not, but I certainly hope so. Japanese Embroidery is a beautiful art and very disciplined. If I were ever to try to learn it, Susan would be the one I’d want to teach me. Her enthusiasm for life and stitching shines through everything she does. Take a moment and check out her blog. I think you will enjoy it. I know I do!
