“What we did together was so much greater than anything we could have done alone!”
- Sixth Grade Student at Kestrel Heights Charter School in Durham, NC

For over a decade, artist Peg Gignoux and I found success and joy in leading collaborative projects. In 2001, we joined forces, uniting our talents as TEXTile Partners, specializing in Story Quilts. In two successive residencies, we led participants as the group collaborates on imaginative stories and vibrant textile illustrations.

Together, we have:

• completed more than ten Story Quilts
• worked in a variety of settings and situations
• published several articles

"What a miracle it has been to watch Peg and Susie lead our children and famiilies in imaginative explorations as they brought collaborative art and writing into our libraries. Their work is dynamic. The Story Quilts are stunning!"
