Staff

Susan Fuquay is the owner, publisher, editor, and art director of American Quilt Retailer. With a background in art and design and years of additional experience in retailing, trade magazine publishing and quilting, she started American Quilt Retailer almost 16 years ago. She recognized a need to communicate retailing knowledge, industry news and product information to quilt retailers. Since those early days, American Quilt Retailer has grown from a small newsletter into a four-color magazine that suits the needs of the independent quilt shop owner.

“I’ve always seen my role in the industry as a communicator of sound retailing ideas and current trends from the experts to quilt shop owners. I don’t have all the answers or expertise needed to run a quilt shop, but I love finding the experts and communicating to our readers the information they need to know in order to be successful business owners.”
