Suzy Williams is a quilting entrepreneur. She has used her modern, minimalist aesthetic to take pattern design to a new level through her use of stunning photography and a vibrant social media presence. Suzy came to quilting at the age of 15, when she curiously peeked into her friend’s mom’s sewing room. Brenda Winkelmeyer became Suzy’s quilting mentor, and, combined with Suzy’s background in graphic design, the textile business Suzy Quilts was born. Suzy’s quilts have been featured in numerous publications, including Modern Patchwork Magazine, QuiltCon Magazine, Modern Quilts Unlimited, and the book Modern Quilts: Designs of the New Century. She also writes a monthly column in Love, Patchwork & Quilting Magazine. Suzy is a BERNINA Ambassador, and even flew to their headquarters in Switzerland to film videos to promote the release of their new machines made specifically for quilters.
