 Cheryl
has just completed work on her first book, "Deck the Halls, " from
Martingale & Company. The book will be available in quilt
shops in July of 2009 and features 10 quilt projects to decorate
your home in style for the Christmas season. Some of you may
already be familiar with her pattern series,
Storybook Snugglers, also published by Martingale.
Two
of Cheryl's great loves, quilting and children's literature, have been united in
that series. The concept behind Storybook Snugglers
is a simple one - creating a special snuggle quilt to share during story time
with your favorite child. As an elementary school teacher, Cheryl loved read-aloud
time with her students and has designed a series of delightful quilt patterns
that coordinate with classic children's literature. Each pattern includes a list
of coordinating stories to share during a "snuggle and read".
There are a total of six
patterns in the Storybook Snugglers series. To learn more about
each pattern in the Storybook Snugglers series, click on the pattern
title link in the left column of this page.
Cheryl
believes that one of the wonderful things about quilts is they have that
special ability to literally wrap people up in our love. So, if you are a
long distance grandma like her, a stay-at-home mom, or a book-addicted
school teacher, these patterns will help you share a favorite story with a
child you love, even if your own arms can't be there to hold them.
