"Susanne Woods was an early advocate for and leader of the MQG. Serving on the board of directors for six years, in addition to her full-time publishing career, Susanne's guidance was invaluable. Like so many quilters, Susanne's passing in 2020 left stacks of projects unfinished. This exhibit features many of those quilts, which were lovingly finished by members of the local guild started by Susanne. Discover this sliver of Susanne's legacy, and the stories of finishing the quilts from members of her guild." As for the Shoals Quilt, it was made at the request of someone close to Susanne by Andrea and Fern as a way to honor her. Using fabrics picked from Susanne's stash in the colors of a sunset, and the Shoals quilt design from Nicholas Ball's book, Inspiring Improv, we're sure this loving tribute would delight Susanne.
