Texture. Technology. Textiles. Teacher. These are the things that identify the many aspects of Cheryl's sewing career.
Cheryl Sleboda is a full time quilter and fiber artist who loves heirloom sewing techniques made modern. I know when you think of heirloom sewists, you think of someone who looks like her, right?
She loves to do fabric manipulations to raise the surface of my quilts. Cheryl's work is often small… think 6 inches square. She loves vintage linens and the modern quilt and art quilt movements. Basically, she's not your grandmother’s quilter.
Cheryl is on a mission to be unique and weird in the quilting world. She used to groan at the headline “Not your grandmother’s quilts”. But you know what? That’s what we do! We make stuff our grandmothers could not make! Cheryl is ok with that. And you should be too.
Cheryl teaches and lectures around the country, and she gets RAVE reviews from people who attend her talks and classes.
Cheryl has been on many episodes of Quilting Arts TV and It’s Sew Easy TV, and countless magazines and newspapers. She also has a fun line of products from heirloom sewing tools to sewing skull shirts to show off your rock n roll quilter style. Cheryl recently started a company focused on cosplay called “Sew Much Cosplay” and has been teaching costuming for many years.
Cheryl is influenced by her other hobbies and interests, including comic books, science fiction, Japanese comics and culture, and pop culture from the 1980’s.
You can visit her website at www.muppin.com.
