As a bonus, Cherry is giving away four quilt patterns. See the bottom of this post for details.
What is the inspiration behind your Sunday Ride collection?
It’s all about bike rides I used to take with my kids when
they were younger. We lived in the Lake Arrowhead neighborhood in Waleska,
Georgia. The designs are all things we saw along the way. I have such great
memories of these bike rides; it’s really a special spot in my heart.
Tell us about the panel.
The panel tells the story. We had a neighbor who used to
hang her clothes out to dry. Of course I had to include a quilt on it! My
little dog—a black schnauzer—is on there. We lived by the lake, and our
neighbors had a sailboat. Picnics. And of course the bikes.
Do you have a favorite print in the collection?
The little bike print on white with the daisies is probably my favorite. I’m also fond of the little Rosey Posey print.

You have a coordinating line of embroidery designs for this collection
through Oklahoma Embroidery Supply & Design.
Yes! I just love embroidery. You can take simple blenders
(like the beaded circles, which read as a solid) and add a little bit of embroidery.
It takes a very simple block or quilt, add an embroidery design, and create an
intricate-looking finished project. They also work great on quilt labels. I’m
working on creating tutorials using the Sunday Ride collection.

What makes embroidery so appealing to you?
Embroidery is instant gratification. You sit back and watch
the machine do your work for you. Embroidered
projects make great gifts—pillows, kitchen towels, anything you want with the
little added touch.

Do you have a favorite from the Sunday Ride embroidery collection?
Definitely the bike. And the schnauzer. He’s so simple, but
so cute.

Chickasaw Lake |
