Thank you for a wonderful class. I really needed to get out of a design rut, and you helped shift that blockage. I appreciate you immensely, Sherri.

I was so ready for a new direction and you have truly inspired me - loved the freedom of this simple technique - takes you right back to the basics and makes you create so uniquely. Thank you for a fabulous 3 hours!

What Sherri teaches goes way beyond the workshop, extends out from the quilt into the everyday life of a maker, showing us the kind of paths we might improvise for our own lives.

I made a new quilt! Man it's been a long time. I began this one in Sherri's Rail Fence class. I love making things like that. It's what feels the most energizing.

I loved this Rail Fence block! I love working with simple repeating patterns so I found this very exciting. The colors are inspired by my backyard fence and the colors that peek through my black fence are greens and orangey-browns.

It's always quite humbling but also extremely empowering to participate in a group of quilters that come from so many different places in their quilting journeys. Thank you Sherri, for sharing this amazing practice with the world, it has truly given me the language I was searching for.

This quilt started in Sherri's Improv That Block Flying Geese class. I wanted this quilt to reflect how happy and better I feel when Autum rolls around.

I quickly got into the flow and thoroughly enjoyed creating my version of improv Churndash blocks. Learning from Sherri's various "pivot" suggestions helped me try new things! And I love what I made!
