It's that time of the week again!!
Woohoo, survived till Friday!
This week we have
Cherie!
Specs:
Name: Cheraldine
Family: I live with my 2 Giant brothers and crazy parents
Location: UK
Day job: Currently Unemployed, but sewing like a crazed lunatic!
Dream job: To own my own business, which I’m currently
working towards. It would be making and selling various fabric items. I love to
sew and this would be just perfect!
What are you working on now? I’m in the process of making
items to sell at a carnival coming up in my area. It’s not until July so I have
a few months to sew like crazy!
I’m also in the Modern She made Swap and have been creating
an item for my partner. These are just some ideas.
Favorites:
Place: I really love Poplars Garden Centre! During the
seasons they have various displays and it always looks amazing
Food:
I love shepards pie! I don’t know what It is about it, but it always
tastes great!
Way to spend a Friday night: I usually have to cook dinner
on a Friday. Before hand I get as much sewing done as possible and wind down
the evening with some blog reading and commenting.
Fabric line: I love so many different fabrics from various
lines. I tend to choose the ones I love the most when buying like shown here.
I love the Echo prints and anything spotty and dotty.
Color: I have a range of favourite colours. I prefer the
darker shade. Midnight blue, Plum purple, bottle green and I love burnt orange.
Designer: That is a tough choice! I must give credit to
Patty Sloniger. I love the Backyard Baby fabrics and hunted down a bundle! I
won’t be using that for a while. I also love the Lizzy House fabrics.
Project completed by you: I must admit
I haven’t completed an awful lot of projects as I only really got into quilting
late February. One quilt I have made and love is my MAM Quilt (mine all mine) - I have a tutorial - I Had just started buying fabrics and used the ones I loved
to make this quilt.
Project when you need a quick finish: I like making pillows.
To be honest it takes me a while to pick a backing fabric for them, but they
are quick to make.
Least Favorites:
Color: I don’t like red or pink! Either hardly used on a
fabric is fine, but solid based no way!
Fabric line: I’m not a fan of prints with sealife on
them…..I’ve seen the Heather Ross Mendocino and I’m afraid to say I really
don’t like the prints. I don’t like anything too floral either.
Project completed by you: I made baby quilts. The backing and binding went all wrong! I think I’ll eventually bind them
properly and I may love them more…
Big plans for 2012?
As mentioned before the Carnival is coming up so I’ll be
making a lot of things for that. Next year me and my best friend plan to open
up an online business selling various handmade items! I guess buying as much
fabric as possible is a big plan, since I’ll have to hunt for the best prices.
USA seems to be the way to go, the exchange rate works out really well and I’ve
bought some great fabrics!
I’m hoping to find another job soon, so I’ll have more money
to buy all the fabric and sewing items I need to make my dream more of a
reality.
I would also like to join more swaps and follow more blogs
to learn more about the quilting world =D

ReplyDeleteSorry Hadley. Sealife prints are not in my list of favourites!
ReplyDeleteThanks for having me over Jennifer =D
Hi Cherie keep up the great work!!
ReplyDeleteI have to agree with you, I'm not a big fan of fish/sealife prints either. but hey, that leaves more for the folks that love it ;o)
Have a great day.
Always, Queenie
Brilliant patchwork and love the dresden plates - so colourful. Like your choice of fabrics.
