For me art is the act of expressing my feelings from deep within. I use various medium to create unique one-of-a-kind works of art using fibre, textiles and many types of embellishments. Each piece is considered a personal creation inspired by the elements of nature.
I offer classes to teach the various methods of quilting, fibre manipulation, knitting, crochet and the joy of embellishment to create beautiful fibre art.
Stitchtogether is a fibre art studio offering many facets of sewing, quilting, knitting, crochet and unique button designs created by me, Susan Curtis and assisted by my daughter, Jaclyn.
I have been teaching others the art of sewing since the mid 80's and continue to do so. My mother taught me how to sew on a little black Singer Featherweight. That was the beginning of a lifelong journey of fibre and fibre art.
Susan obtained her Fibre Art Certificate in Quilting from St. Lawrence College of the Arts, in the late 90's and has taught classes using all kinds of fabric and quilting techniques. She has also taught in the Fashion and Design program at Algonquin College, Haliburton School of Arts, St. Lawrence College of the Arts. Susan is Certified Knitting and Crochet Instructor, through the American Craft Yarn Counci and teaches across North America sharing her joy with others. Her work has been featured in the Drops of Jupiter Art Gallery of Winter Haven, Florida. She has exhibited her work in Quilt Canada, and guilds throughout Ontario. Featured works have been published in Canadian Quilter Magazine, Mnjikaning Pow Wow, Magazine, and Canadian Cartographic Association publication. Susan is a graduate of Queen's University, MBA, Professor, Algonquin College. She has joined forces with her daughter Jaclyn, and together they are creating unique, one-of-a-kind buttons with bead embellishments. Their buttons have become an immediate hit among quilters and fibre artists alike.
