Susie Osburn has designed embroidery patterns for her business "Lace Tales Embroidery" for more than 20 years. For twelve years she managed a home dec store that also sold antique quilts and vintage Redwork. By using patterned fabrics in a variety of colors in her Redwork quilts, Susie brings a fresh look to this area.

Redwork, believed to have originated in Europe in the 19th Century and introduced in America just prior to the War Between the States, has enjoyed a renaissance among quilters in the last several years. Susie newest Redworks fabric collection was inspired by an antique embroidered Redwork quilt, c. 1917, and the coordinating fabrics take inspiration from beautiful antique quilts of the same era, all part of a collection from The Michigan State University Museum.

Susie is well known nationally for her lectures on bringing a contemporary flair to traditional embroidery techniques with color and patterns for stunning results.
