It’s my birthday! You can ask my grandson if you want to know how old I am. He’s got it down… Grandma is old…
It’s also day nine of the blog hop. Susan Brubaker Knapp is today’s guest. She is one busy person. She is a soccer mom, artist, international quilt teacher, presenter of Quilting Arts TV, author… the list goes on and on.
I first met Susan at the TV studios in Cleveland. She was preparing to record her fourth QA workshop DVD. I had to know she was something special because you don’t get to make four DVDs unless you are very, very good! Well, the next season she took over as presenter so now we all know how truly special she is.
Here’s a picture taken from the green room of Susan on set.
Here one of us together, ready for my paper foundation piecing slot that first season of Susan’s.
This one is the next season we taped in September, when I was also there for the DVD taping. Vivika joined us to make a tremendous trio!
Christmas is almost upon us so I’m very grateful to Susan for taking the time to write her blog post. After you’ve read it come back and post a comment. I’m picking two winners from all the ten days to win a DVD and because it’s my birthday I’m going to pick an extra winner just from today to win an extra prize! I love prizes!!

Happy Birthday and thanks for hosting this give-away. I need the inspiration to broaden my quilting skills.
According to your grandson, you might be old, but you still have a mischievous twinkle in your eye, and I’ll bet your grandson does too. (He would say I’m old too.)
Happy Birthday, Catherine! So wonderful to be 39 again-I know because I have done it for many years!
Have also used walking foot for many years-great for garment sewing on fabrics that are hard to slide under a regular pressure foot! Great for sewing on bindings. And, now, you tell me I can quilt fancy with it! WOW! Let the fun begin!
Happy Birthday and the DVD is wonderful.
