Cheryl Quesnell - "Soar!" a Houston 2019 Quilt

Cheryl Quesnell always wanted to depict a street scene in a quilt and have a graffiti artist tag it. She did just that with Soar! and had Pete Salcido tag with its title. To Cheryl, Soar means to take a risk and and be brave, which we think she did very well with this quilt.

Soar! by Cheryl Quesnell of Lake Forest Park, Washington, with Pete Salcido as the graffiti artist, was featured in the Pictorial category at Houston 2019.

This quilt tells so many stories. All the texturing brings so much life to the quilt. Thank you for the message it brings to all people not just quilters

Very creative. I especially like the chair and the dimension you gave it.

The chair is absolutely beautifully done. The brickwork is just great and I think the shaggy finish on that does give it a street feeling...it reminds me old worn bricks, on an old familiar building. The patching on the chair ties in well too. The tagging is something I couldn't even imagine asking someone to do. You are DEFINITELY BRAVE to try it. I was surprised and impressed.
