Instructor
Sue Spargo

This much-beloved instructor and artist was born in Zambia and educated in South Africa. African folklore is reflected in the whimsy and charm of her creations. She moved to the United States in 1980 and settled in Ohio where she started her company, Sue Spargo Folk Art Quilts, Inc. She embarked on her journey of dimensional layering and embroidery and introduced the world to wools saturated in bright colors, multi-medium layering, and embroidery, which resulted in textural depth and dimension never before seen. The circle of fans who love her and her artistry has grown exponentially over the years.
