Thus endeth January 2026.
Registration is now open for my 2026 local classes!
I’m teaching four classes locally this year (at Old Murphey School in Durham, NC), and you can get more information and register for them here: susanbrubakerknapp.corsizio.com
“Plight of the Swifts,” in progress. (Shoes for scale.) Nearly all the birds are cut out (yes, by hand) and next is stitching down the circles in the top section and continuing to work on the hand embroidery (second photo) that I’ve started in the bottom section. #fiberart #artquilt
Thus endeth November. I am using a calendar to record the most egregious and horrifying acts of the Trump Regime.

Lovely!
We are all interconnected and bound to each other by our humanity, and until we can achieve justice and freedom for everyone, none of us are truly free in the “land of the free and home of the brave.”
I love this quote by Fannie Lou Hamer (1917-1977), American voting and women’s rights activist, community organizer, and leader of the civil rights movement.

An Eastern Box Turtle (Terrapene carolina carolina) came to visit this morning!

Did you know that you can watch videos of many of the Quilt National ’25 artists on Quilt National's YouTube channel?
They just posted one of me talking about my piece, "What Remains." Watch it here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=65tG...

Thus endeth July. I am using a calendar to record the most egregious and horrifying acts of the Trump Regime.
Quilting in progress.
Horrified that the Trump Regime is revoking the scientific determination that underpins the EPA's authority to combat climate change. It will weaken safeguards, and increase pollution from burning fossil fuels. A huge step backward.
This is my work (in progress).
Do you know Jane Sanders, the UK fiber artist who makes amazing fiber portraits of musicians? She's on IG as stitchin_in_the_kitchen
Thanks! Wholecloth painted, then free-motion stitched.
So thrilled to have you as a guest! ❤️
