Susan Kruszynski

Dr. Susan Kruszynski is an award-winning landscape art quilter and educator.   Her art quilts range in sizes from 3”x5” to 40”x60”.

Feeding her artistic nature, Susan, at age 8, started experimenting with fabrics to produce colorful creations. She began landscape fiber art design with collage art quilts in 2014. A native of Michigan, her works are often inspired by the trees and woodlands along the Lake Michigan shoreline.


 Susan currently divides her time between creating original collaged art  quilt designs, teaching art quilting and presenting guild lectures,  marketing this fiber art at shows and exhibitions, running her Quilting  Fabrics in Time business, and with the publishing of her two new books  on art quilting.  Susan uses her 40+ years of K-College level teaching  experiences and a PhD in Education to provide fun and easy learning  experiences in classes and with on-line instruction.
