Never one to mince words, nor fail to express an opinion about a personal passion, Suzanne has more recently explored the possibilities of quilts in responding to some challenges facing society. Collections of notes, quotes and clippings inspired her first foray into this area, and led to the sometimes tortuous development of Truth Decay.
