• My quilts use the magical properties of fabric and thread to reflect some of my other lifelong passions. I love to travel, especially to places with lots of history, iconic vistas or interesting wildlife.  I love music, especially singing, and had the honour of singing with some outstanding choruses including the Toronto Mendelssohn Choir for nearly 20 years, the Honolulu Opera Theatre (Dialogues of the Carmelites, Turandot), and with Tapestry New Opera Works in Oksana G.
• I have been working with fibres and fabric for as long as I can remember: I love the feel of fine natural fabrics, and how they respond to my hands and tools. I love the many ways they radiate colour, from the subtle nuances of pastels through the dramatic impacts of bold magentas, reds and blues.
• Over the years I have enjoyed designing and creating in a variety of ways: sewing, tailoring, knitting (including lace knitting using cobweb weight yarns), copper wire jewellery, embroidery, crochet. As a teenager I taught the “Knit and Stretch” sewing method.  
• For most of my life I pursued a career as an engineer working for a major consulting firm focussing on transit infrastructure. This has given me a strong technical background for geometry and shapes of my quilt designs, and also a strong attention to quilt construction details to ensure a robust and durable finished piece.
• All work is done either by machine using my state-of-the-art Bernina sewing machine, or by hand.  I use only fine quality 100% cotton fabrics, although other fabrics can be used for creative interest.  All quilt designs are by Sue Sherman unless otherwise noted.
• I have recently been accepted by the Studio Art Quilter Associates (SAQA) as a Juried Artist Member (JAM) based on a submission including CV, Artist's statement, and photographs of selected works.

"Paradise Landscape" was awarded "Third Place Large Quilts - Hand Quilted" at the 2019 American Quilters Society (AQS) show in Charlston, SC, and was also juried into the 2019 Grand Rapids and Fall Paducah shows.
