Welcome to Cherry Quilts

Welcome to my quilting studio! My name is Cherry, and I’m based in Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire. I specialise in hand-guided custom quilting, edge to edge quilting, basting, and binding. I welcome patchworkers of any experience level; let me support you in bringing your creations to life.

My passion for sewing began in childhood, when my grandmother would guided me in making clothes and bedding for my dolls. Later, I pursued my love of home furnishings by earning a degree in interior design. It deepened my understanding of colour, textiles, and composition, and in 2012, I began taking commissions as a free motion embroidery artist.

My foray into quilting started in 2018, when I began working in a well known patchwork and quilting shop in Northamptonshire. There, I was trained on a Gammill longarm quilting machine, allowing me to transfer my expertise in free motion embroidery to the world of quilting. I became their in-house custom quilter, honing my skills and developing my unique style.

During the lockdown in late 2020 I invested a longarm machine from Handiquilter and set up a home quilting studio in my garage. I have since moved my studio to a unit that my partner and I share in the North of Milton Keynes and we also install longarm machines for others on behalf of Pinhole Quilting, the company I purchased my Handiquilter Infinity longarm from.
