I have 2 books to give away so here is what you do........leave me a comment and I will draw the name on Sunday evening. If you are no reply, please leave me your email address! If you don't leave me your email address you can't be in the drawing!

Here is a little bit of background information on Cheryl.


What is your favorite part of quilting?
I have many favorite parts of quilting.  It's hard to choose just one.  Coming up with designs heads the list. I love doing the research whether it's through travel or visiting museums or perusing books.  Then choosing the fabrics and beginning a new project is so exciting.


Where do you think quilting is headed, do you see any trends emerging?
I think quilting is growing in many directions right now.  But I see 2 trends.  One is geared towards new and young quilters.  The patterns are not very complicated and they make use of retro novelty prints.  The other direction I see is towards more hand stitching.

What are your favorite colors?
I love blue and white.  I also love copper, which maybe  related to my red hair.  Mixing copper and black and other neutrals is a wonderful color palette.

Do you have a favorite quilting tip?
My favorite tip that I share with my students is to not be paralyzed by perfectionism.  You will be able to see improvement in every quilt you make.  The more you make the more you will improve.

How do you decide how much fabric to buy when you see something you love?

I never end up buying enough fabric. I'm still trying to figure this one out.

What is your least favorite part of quilting?
Truly, I love it all.

Any chance we will see another book from you?
 I am working on another book.  It is very different than Quilt Fiesta, but that's all I can say right now.

Congratulations Cheryl on a great book!

Ole!

    As a hand quilter I love this quote: "The other direction I see is towards more hand stitching."
    I really do hope that hand stitching is making a comeback.

    The older I get the more hand stitching I find myself doing!
    More time?? more patience?? I'm not sure!

    I love your special tip! I gladly show my very first quilt to anybody. I still love it, despite piecing and quilting being very haphazard, no matching seams, chopped off points, some extremely attractive and unintentional pleats on the back, and I bet it wouldn't hang straight. But it's lovely and warm (all flannels) and the colours very soothing. It's a perfect comfort quilt.

Today I saw the book on a quilt shop site and had to come back and find the post so I had least had a chance. The book is calling my name - one way or another. Aren't the colors enticing? Good luck to Cheryl with this book. Can you tell that I'm excited about it?

    I have been thinking of making a quilt for my hallway matching the old tiles that line the floor. This would be a wonderful opportunity to find out how I translate floor tiles into quilt blocks.

    I have been known to take photos of beautiful floors but have never actually made a quilt from one! Sounds fascinating!

    Wow! ANOTHER person who loves hand quilting! So many of the local quilters are machine quilting... I'd love to win this book--looks fascinating!

    Quilting is a never ending cycle of new quilters adding their lively new ideas and older quilters quilting more for the joy of the process.
    As Bonnie Hunter says " I quilt therefore I am". Like Cheryl I like all parts of quilting and never get tired of learning new things or looking at other quilters creations.

    thanks so much for the chance to win.....happy retreat and
    Happy Sewing

    I have loved Talavera tiles for a long time, and I have no idea how to translate their designs into quilts. Cheryl's book looks like just what I need! Thanks for the chance to win!

    I am lucky enough to live in AZ, only a few hours from Mexico. I know we have our problems but I personally love to visit Puerto Penasco. We have made many fine friends there. I especially love their art-especially the bold colors. I would love to have a signed copy of this book.
