I’m in American Quilter Magazine!

“Fall Color” by Susan Brubaker Knapp (2013)
My work, “Fall Color,” is featured in the September 2013 issue of Amerian Quilter magazine! The article explains how I made the piece, with a focus on my thought process, and how I worked through some technical and artistic issues as I created the piece. A line drawing pattern is included if you want to make your own version.

It is made with fusible applique and a lot of thread sketching.

The piece is based on a photo I took several years ago of some beautiful maple leaves on the street in front of my house. I loved the photo for its beautiful, strong, clear color, and detail:


Here are some detail shots of the finished piece:



The magazine is available in the United States on newsstands and at quilt shops and many craft stores. To find out more, or to subscribe, visit www.americanquilter.com/publications/


P.S. I just got home this morning from New Zealand. I didn’t have much time, or good internet connections, when I was there, so I only blogged once, but there is a lot more coming later this week. I had a fabulous time!
