Meet Susan Deal
    Susan Deal began sewing at a very young age beginning by sewing clothing construction projects for 4-H.  Many years later, Susan received an invitation to participate in the Fairfield Show in 1987.  This is an invitation only show to show off the best the industry has to offer in various categories. Susan often used traditional quilt designs highlighting them with exotic fabrics and dazzling colors to really make her garments and quilts come alive.
