Quilters Meet & Greet

I was approached by a blogger, Benita of Victoriana Quilt Designs, to participate in a Quilter's Meet and Greet.  She assembled a bunch of designers to participate and is hosting a huge giveaway (more on that below).

I figured that this might be a good time to post a little about myself for some of the new subscribers, so without further ado … five things about myself … with some of my favorite quilt finishes sprinkled in …

1.  My name is Cheryl Brickey and I was born and raised in New Jersey, went to college in Pittsburgh, PA, and lived in Rochester, NY for 5 years before escaping the snow to move to Greenville, SC about 13 years ago.


2.  I met my husband on my first day at Eastman Kodak in Rochester, we went through new hire orientation together.

3.  I have two children, a daughter in 3rd grade and a son in 6th grade.  I can't believe that I have a middle schooler! I just entered my 40's and I have a feeling that this will be a good decade :)

Taste the Rainbow

4.  My favorite parts of making a quilt are designing the pattern, cutting the fabric, making the blocks, and machine quilting.  I love quilty math and the challenge of making quilt pattern steps into clear and easy to follow instructions.

Use Your Illusion

5.  I was asked by my local quilt guild to host a mystery quilt back in 2014.  I loved hosting it and have hosted a free quilt along on my blog each year since (you can find all of the quilt alongs in the tab above).

    Good morning Cheryl, It's nice to learn a little more about you and how you came to design quilts.
    There seems to be a problem with the first link to the meet and greet above. I get the message:
    Sorry, the page you were looking for in this blog does not exist.

    I am really enjoying the posts this morning. Great way to kill time while sitting in O'Hare airport waiting to go home! You have such a nice style of design and I love interacting with you in this quilting community! Your 40s will be wonderful and middle schoolers can be a challenge so hang in there. :-)
