Meet Teri Cherne<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Teri Cherne was encouraged by her mother to use her hands to create. Teri feels \u201cfortunate to be given that gift from her to share with others.\u201d A two-time cancer survivor, Teri entered her first quilt contest in 2014 at MQX \u2013 Machine Quilters Exposition in New England<\/a>. Her quilt, \u201cRays of Hope,\u201d won second place which \u201cthrilled\u201d Teri.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Story Behind Finding Light in the Darkness<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Finding and using colors to capture light and darkness is what inspired Teri to make this award winning Best Longarm Machine Quilting design.  It took several years for Finding Light in the Darkness <\/em>to become a quilt. First, Teri designs the entire quilt on her computer before she even begins cutting the fabric.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Best<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Finding the correct colors of fabric took a couple of years. Teri says she \u201cgot lucky\u201d to find that Cherrywood Hand Dyed Fabrics<\/a> had all the colors that she needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Metallic threads were used to allow the quilt to shine bright in the light. Teri used Wonderfil\u2019s<\/a> Dazzle 8wt thread for all the hand couching to add more color and shimmer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An important lesson that she learned along the way was to not rush the process<\/strong> especially after spending so much time with the design process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Best<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Naming the quilt came from her experiences with cancer. \u201cBeing a two-time Cancer survivor, there were many times I had to look within to find the light,\u201d commented Teri.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Winning Quilt<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Teri found out that she had won Best Longarm Machine Quilting late Thursday evening, the first full day of Road 2020. She got an email from a friend who was at the show congratulating her on her win! \u201cI was so excited, and very honored to receive Best Longarm!\u201d Teri planned to purchase new glasses with her prize money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Future Quilting Endeavors<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

At the same time Teri was working on Finding Light in the Darkness, <\/em>Teri was also working on her next project, an appliqu\u00e9 quilt. Terri says her life is busy, so she has to keep putting her project aside. But she is confident that it will all come together, a bit at a time. For Teri, there is no rush, \u201cit\u2019s about savoring the journey!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
