Join this virtual meeting to hear Sheri share a selection of her award-winning quilts and how she applies her graphic design training and practices to design quilts.

​Sheri Cifaldi-Morrill is a designer, quilt pattern publisher, award-winning quilter, educator, and creative entrepreneur. With the help of books and the Internet, she taught herself how to sew and discovered her love of designing and making quilts. As a trained and practicing graphic designer, her quilts start with a concept and research shapes the design. Her work is inspired by her everyday life and experiences.
If you have ever asked yourself, “How should I quilt this?”, then this is the workshop for you.  Sheri will demonstrate how she, as a graphic designer, decides the quilting design that will best display your quilt top. 

​Participants will then practice their walking foot skills on small quilt sandwiches.  The fee for the workshop is $45 to be pre-paid to the Treasurer.  The supply list for the workshop will be sent out prior to the workshop.   You may want to view one of Sheri's free motion quilting YouTube videos on her Whole Circle Studio channel.  There is one posted on our Events tab.
