Sherry is another of our designers that has more of a modern style. You’ll find her patterns and style a great place to explore color and design.
Many of her quilts are color challenges and they are beautiful. Every once in awhile you’ll find a fun and whimsy styled quilt among the mix of colors as well.
She also hosted a 365 art challenge during 2018 which is fun to explore!
Her pattern this month may be just what you are looking for. Enjoy!
Here’s a bit more about Sherry:
My name is Sherry Shish, and I live in Missouri. I have been a crafter my entire life. I started with hand sewing when I was younger, then expanding to crocheting, knitting, needle felting, paper crafts, and finally quilting. I fell in love with the variety of quilting!
I’m an engineer by schooling and day job, but quilting definitely energizes and motivates me the most. Hence, my blog: Powered by Quilting.
About the project for the quilt group:
This project I designed early on and I haven’t had a chance to make until now. The quilt is called Impact and the variation of blocks and their orientation is want give it the heavy impact center. It’s a really versatile project that can be done in two colors like I did, or in a rainbow. The orientation of the blocks can also be changed to give it different effects!
Impact
Materials:
You will need 1 yard of black fabric and 3.25 yards of white or background fabric.

How did you get your start in sewing?
I have been hand sewing since I was a child but didn’t learn how to sew on a machine until recently. I always thought it was a skill I should learn. I started machine sewing and slowly crept towards quilting until I just jumped in and haven’t looked back.
What inspires you?
Do you have a favorite notion?
My favorite notions that I think everyone must have: Clearly Slotted Trimmers for trimming HSTs, Grippy by Odif to get all the non-slip rulers grippy, and Sunflower Thread Cutters. There are a few more, but those are absolutely must haves!
What’s coming up for you that we can check out~
I am hosting my very first 6 month block of the month with my Barn Quilt pattern.
Sewing start in September!

Hi this is Renee,
It’s getting about that time to look after our four-legged friends. If you have any scraps we would be more than willing to pay for shipping. The scraps are used to make beds for our four-legged friends.
Sincerely
Renee Szalecki
