About Us
Our Story
I'm Cheri, the creator of A Quilter's Friend. Sometimes in life it takes a bit of time to find your true passion. That’s me. After marrying my best friend in 1980, we raised two amazing children, worked hard, dreamed big, and prayed often. I call those the crazy years. We didn’t know if we were coming or going and most meals came through the drive through windows of McDonald’s and Taco Bell. There wasn’t much time to devote to finding a passion. But during that time I was lucky to have a grandma who was creative and loved to sew. She kept me and my children in handmade outfits that were adorable. It was so much fun to receive a box from grandma from the postman. That feeling stayed with me while I raised my children, taught school, and worked in customer service. When I finally had the time to learn to sew I was hooked and it’s become my passion. Now I'm the one gifting handmade quilts and I love it! I joke that I’m in my second childhood and loving it so much more this time!
George is my partner and a great support system. Although he still leaves for work every morning he’s also behind the scenes helping me with the business end and doing the heavy lifting. A Quilter's Friend would have never materialized without his help and encouragement.
