I'm going to be a busy lady this fall with 11 class offerings at 4 locations and some trunk show/lecture presentations (available virtually only). I've had several requests lately to post my classes with photos so below I am doing just that. Please call the store or group to register for the classes. If you would like a class organized with me I will have my contact info shown at the end of this post. Below are the locations and contact info and photos for the classes. They are all one full day workshop as I realize life is so busy and this seems to work for most of my students. I am looking forward to having you in my class and can promise lots of fun with jam packed info and new sewing/quilting/machine skills to learn!

I have an new blog article posted August 29- stay tuned on the BERNINA International Blog all about making Motivational Embroidered Floor Cushions for a teacher and / or students in your life. There's an article there right now about the MEDIUM Clamp Hoop which I wrote. You can quilt a baby quilt with this hoop (or bigger!). Need some other ideas?
Happy Thursday everyone, I'm a little late with this post but there is still time to look at my article I wrote all about the Medium Clamp Hoop and how awesome it is! This is on the BERNINA International Blog. I discuss the features and benefits of this hoop and work on 2 great projects for this hoop I am sharing pictures below. I encourage you to have a look at this article especially if you embroider and want a hoop that is so easy to use! Check out my blog article here  The BERNINA Medium Clamp Hoop is simply awesome, just clamp and start embroidering!  Cute pin cushions made with the BERNINA Medium Clamp Hoop, my sister and I made 38 with this hoop for a guild celebration and gifts.  Fresh looking baby quilt quilted with BERNINA Q Matic Designs in the BERNINA Medium Clamp Hoop I hope you have a great day today and enjoy the newest blog article, there's one more coming up on Monday August 18th -all about embroidering with fonts!
Hi there just sharing my recent mosaic class pics from the Barrie Kempenfelt Quilter’s Guild . 8 Lovely ladies and 8 awesome quilts. One student has already sent me her completed quilt picture! How ambitious ! It’s been very hot here so I applaud all the ladies for their hard work this summer. These are all adapted from Gloria Loughman’s Book Radiant Landscapes. I highly recommend this book!  A completed quilt just sent in by Theresa- she has entitled it "Kittenview Lake" Those kittens are a broche on her beautiful art quilt! Thanks for sharing Theresa!  Another completed quilt by Carol for this class- simply gorgeous! Thanks for sending this in Carol and congratulations on finishing it! Thanks so much Barrie Kempenfielt Quilter's Guild ladies for hosting and to my sister Alison and colourist extraordinaire for assisting me!
Just got a note via email from one of my class participants in Create with Decorative Stitches class at Creekbank Sewing. I will paraphrase this participant: "I truly enjoyed the Notions tote decorative stitching course you taught at Creekbank sewing on May 31st, I really haven’t stopped creating, using my decorative stitches, even started a few small first quilting projects and embroidering since " She went on to say she is working on her decorative stitch book. I have attached the picture of her notions tote below. Thanks Cheryl for this lovely positive feedback❤️ If you would like a class all about decorative stitches, contact me to arrange date & time. It's a full day workshop, suitable for all makes and models of machines with 5 or more decorative stitches. It's a great group. store or guild project class too!  Cheryyl's Descorative Stitched Notions Tote from Create with Decorative Stitches Class  Create with Decorative Stitches Class Quilt Canada 2025 was held at the International Convention Center in Mississauga June 18-21. I felt it was a resounding success. The Quilt Show itself was extensive as well as the talent and the beautiful quilts and the merchant mall housed over 66 vendors at last count on the CQA website. I spent a total of 3 days and 2 evenings there. Thursday June 19 , I demonstrated Beautiful Botanicals Free Motion Quilting (an upcoming class) and Quintessential Qmatic both in the Qseries Long Arm machines. I also did a short demo on Silly Moon Rulers. I have a photo dump below of the photos I have from my work on the merchant floor, my haul of goodies and more.  My favorite quilt in it's category - so well done!   Also Loved this appliqué quilt, an appliqué masterpiece There were many, many, many other quilts I loved but did not a picture of the credits tag so could not post. Congratulations to all the winners, you blew me away with your finesse and talent!
The show seemed packed. Especially Thursday and busy the rest of the time so I’m thinking it was a financial success as well. I’m just one person in thousands but Canadians are eager for quilting, sewing, arts & crafts and showcases of this type. I'm happy to say I'm teaching next year at Quilt Canada 🇨🇦 in Winnipeg, Manitoba next June and I recommend you attend. I'll post details of my classes (of course over and over within the next year😛) stay tuned! I hope you enjoyed my review & Happy Thursday!❤️ Just sharing with y'all a fantastic retreat I experienced recently. I am no longer a retreat virgin! This was my first retreat and it was so much fun! The retreat was held at Hidden Acres Retreat Centre in New Hamburg, ON and ran for 4 glorious days! We all worked on individual projects. I was able to get all of my 4 patches sewn for a yearly block of the month I am working on, finished a back pack project, made 3 easter baskets,2 easter projects and completed block 3 for my block of the month! I am happy to have had concentrated time to get this done along with lots of giggles, shop hops and fun with friends!! Oh and the food and snacks were fabulous too. A photo montage of events (most is participant work, a wee bit of mine as shown below: I have been extremely busy lately with family, teaching, blog writing and custom quilting on my BERNINA Q20 Long Arm and QMATIC. I decided to do a photo dump to show and share . I hope you enjoy! As for teaching see photos below of my recent Embroidery Essentials Level 1 Class at Stitch it Central, London, Ontario
