Knitting, Quilting, and Sewing Workshops & Retreats

Proud Sponsor of the Cherrywood Challenge

Each year, Cherrywood Fabrics chooses a theme and color palette and presents a challenge to quilters from all over the world. The challenge is to see what quilters can create using the specified Cherrywood fabric bundle.
This year, the challenge is "Story time--Celebrating the Classics."
