Hello!

I'm Cherri House, and I'd like to introduce myself.  I wanted Lizzy to do this for me, but she said I have to do it myself, because she's got to do her homework.  I can't believe that I'm blogging...I read tons of blogs, but I never imagined that I'd be doing this...how exciting!

Hopefully by now everyone's had a chance to see City Scapes, the first quilt from our new company Cherry House Quilts.  It was so exciting on Friday and Saturday to see everything coming together after so much work.  Lizzy and I were emailing, phoning, throughout both days, until she got it posted.  What a thrill to see it actually happen.  It seems silly in comparison to the accomplishments of so many others, but we had to start somewhere, and City Scapes is definitely the beginning. 

Real quick about myself, I'm a single Mom of four beautiful, amazing children.  First there is Luke, who is proudly serving in the Army, he and his wife Becky just had their first baby...precious baby Alton.  Then there is Lizzy - who you all know, did you enter her book contest?  If not, you should, her books are beautiful, actually everything she creates is beautiful, heck, she's beautiful!  Next is Ashlee, my song writing, guitar playing, band touring, currently platinum blond daughter; and last but not least Melissa.  Melissa just graduated from high school, in a few days she will be off to New York to work as a camp nurse for 6 weeks, then she will be off to BYU-Idaho with her sisters; and I will be home alone.  Hence the need to turn my quilting into something more than a hobby.  I've been quilting forever it seems, but in earnest since Luke was on the way.  How many of us started quilting that way? 

This is all so exciting, and I'm really looking forward all that is ahead.

Here's a close up of City Scapes...enjoy!

Welcome to blogland, Cheri! It's so nice to meet you! I have been blogging with Lizzy ever since Barbara Brandeburg introduced us (in blogland). Lizzy is so energetic, intelligent, and fun. My kids are her age, so it's fun to talk to her.

I love City Scapes. Of course my kids want a quilt like that, and they already have the colors picked out. They like it because it's so modern and fun looking. I love it, too.

Again, welcome, and I will be back to visit more!
