Trunk Show and Talk: Sheri Whole Circle Studio

Sheri Cifaldi-Morrill gave a wonderful talk and trunk show that encouraged our members to go for it!  Explore your creative ideas, enter shows and competitions, share your skills.  One thing that Sheri expressed was to give your creative ideas boundaries.  By giving your ideas boundaries they become feasible.  Sheri works on one block, exploring color, shape and pattern before she commits to a mini or full sized quilt .   Sometimes she turns her mini quilts into KING size.  Just beautiful!
