Meet the Maker

Welcome to the newest feature of the KHQS newsletter, website, and social media pages. The past 18 months have left many of us feeling isolated and out of touch with others. This feature is designed to entertain, engage, and help us reconnect to one another. If you would like to be featured in the Meet the Maker segment, contact Teri Smith at VP@khqs.org.

Meet the Maker - Cheryl Slaughter

Cheryl Slaughter is a life-long learner, teacher and sewist who began her quilting journey in the late 1970s. She has loved sewing since she was a very young child watching her grandmothers make quilts. When she learned her brother was to be married, she decided to make him a quilt as a wedding gift. She found a picture in a book, graphed it to the size she wanted, pieced it and hand quilted it with no training in quilt-making. Today, Cheryl creates extraordinary quilts, piecing many by hand.
