Susan R. Leslie
1954-2007
"Forever in our hearts"
Susan was a prolific designer and rug hooker and we, the rug hooking community, have been cheated of her many talents by premature passing.  Who knows how many rugs Susan would have designed and hooked if she had lived a longer life.  Her portfolio bulged with hundreds of mats.

Susan's favorite picture, taken back in her nursing days. 



Below are but a few of the rugs Susan designed and hooked.  A great friend, Susan graciously gave me permission to reproduce her patterns and 10% of the sale is donated to the Canadian Cancer Society.
