New from Sue Spargo


The indigenous Otomi people, with their multicolored textiles, oversized patterns, and whimsical layouts, inspired the design of Of a Feather. With multilayered wool appliqué and embroidery on a parchment background, this quilt takes on a modern feel with its bright, bold color. Stock up on this fantastic pattern, in which Sue provides detailed instructions, clear pattern and stitch diagrams, and the opportunity to learn new techniques such as wool appliqué, layering, cotton appliqué, embroidery, dimensional embroidery, and texture creation. This is a perfect Block of the Month quilt for a stitching day! The book includes patterns for the Of a Feather Quilt, Workbox, Pillow, and a Geometric Throw.


Rooted is a continuation of Sue’s small studies, which will lead you on a journey through the wonderful world of trees. Become immersed in the foliage, branches, and blooms, from the five-petal, intense red-orange Flowering Quince to the tropical Golden Dewdrop, with its violet-blue flowers and golden berries. With Sue’s detailed instructions and guidance on basic background layering techniques, you can teach classes with confidence and ease. Sue provides countless tips and tricks throughout the pattern, which will increase sales of tools and notions. Easily demonstrate how to add textural background stitching and how to enhance each element with expertly selected embroidery stitches, bringing each block to life.


Tinsel is another of Sue’s small studies and a celebration of the modern Christmas tree. Though the true Christmas tree tradition can be traced back to Germany, today many people around the world embrace the custom in their own distinctive ways. Tinsel is a celebration of this unique holiday tradition and a symbol of joy, unity, and gathering.
