SusanClaire Mayfield has been quilting since the seventies and was sewing as a child encouraged by her mum before then. When asked to teach at a local quilting store SusanClaire decided to prepare her own patterns for the class. The designs and patterns were popular, and quilters asked for more -- and so the pattern designing began. She has many designs now and her own studio in her home in the country, in New Zealand, and loves it! At one point in her journey, she prepared a Quilters version of a 3-course fabric meal with appropriate commentary and good humor -- and so the Gourmet Quilter. . .because quilting is delicious! was born. SusanClaire has developed the Gourmet Quilter theme since then and has exhibited in NZ, UK and now USA. She has presented and tutored and still finds time to design and make quilts. Her Quilting Studio is open to visitors by appointment, and you are made to feel most welcome
