Sue wants her quilts to present a message to her audience to care about the environment. She does this by mixing a profound statement, like take care of our world, with a little humor. This quilt, Dear Humans..., presents that message by having its animal subjects have their backs turned towards us. The quilt won The Superior Threads Master Award For Thread Artistry at the Houston International Quilt Festival 2022.

Sue says of her work, "The animals are sending a message to humans, offering their opinion about the state of things. If you look closely, you can see where the humans have filled the sky with their empty talk about addressing habitat loss and climate change, but don’t do enough to help. Wholecloth cotton painted with thickened dyes."
