Ten-Question Interview with Cheryl L. See

Cheryl was the first brave soul to do our ten-question interview. Star Members can watch Cheryl in Episode 1507, where she launches paper piecing into the 21st century. You'll be amazed by her quilts: each incorporates a little "secret" or two that draws you in for a closer look. Cheryl also shares loads of tips for making precise and perfect hexies and diamonds, and then shows a number of clever and versatile 3-D projects for trying her techniques without committing to a huge project.

Here's a cute project made from a Mason jar from Julie Cefalu at The Crafty Quilter.

This is a perfect, portable sewing kit that anyone could use. If you like hand applique or English paper piecing, this would be perfect for you.

Do you hand-sew your bindings on the back of your quilt? This could be your go-to jar! There is room to put your favorite hand-sewing tools inside and it has a built-in pin cushion on top.

The Christmas Stockings- Capt'n John

I have to give Alex all the credit here. The kids were all excited about Christmas and knew that their stockings would be filled by morning. They hung empty on Christmas Eve, but amazingly they were filled and on the hearth by morning. This occurred until the kids left home for lives of their own. Age didn't matter. If you believed, the stocking would be full in the morning. This is a memory that the kids and I share thanks to Alex.

Lilo Spends Time with Her Family

Family is hugely important to me. Two years ago my extended family spent Christmas in Paris. It was not about the food, the sights, or the shopping. It was about time spent together as this would be the last time all of us would be together for several years to come.
