Sue Astroth

I am Sue Astroth both a C&T Publishing author and editorial team member. I have been a crafter my whole life-needle arts, quilting, and paper arts are my ongoing favorites. Most recently, I have been combining fabric and paper in unexpected ways. When I’m not in the studio creating new projects, I am out collecting treasures for my cards and quilts or pruning the roses in my garden. I don’t look back…except to say thank you to my family and friends for the love and support I constantly receive from them while I continue my artistic journey.

Vintage-inspired embroidery floss color kit

Astroth Blank Canvas Book Color Kit

It all started when I found this charming, well-loved, color kit at a local thrift store. In addition to the kit there were over 70 skeins of embroidery floss in the bag. So I did what any self respecting collector of of all things crafty does…I bought it. After all, the whole bag of treasures was only…are you ready…..69 cents!
