Meet Cherie
Wellington based longarm quilting and textile artist, Cherie Gurney has been honing her quilting skills since 2008. Originally from the fashion industry Cherie has been working with fabric for over four decades. Cherie likes to explore and push boundaries with her own computerised longarm quilting designs combined with using fabric, thread, dye and paint. Her particular focus on stitch as texture and fabric manipulation allows her to tell stories through her unique textile work.
Cherie’s award-winning work has been exhibited both nationally and internationally at Art Galleries, NZ quilt Symposium and the World Quilt Show. She loves to share her joy of creating by teaching textiles through quilt guilds, and through quilt shops.
When Cherie isn’t teaching or creating her own work, she runs a longarm quilting business at her home-based studio and is proficient in freehand, ruler work and computerised quilting.
Cherie continues to work with fabric in all these disciplines and you can see what she’s up to on her social media pages.
Quilt service
Welcome to Cherie’s Quilt Studio where Cherie loves to provide you with an exceptional personalised longarm quilting service.
Cherie has extensive experience with all types of quilting and loves bringing out the best in your quilt with her eye for detail and creativity. The two main types of quilting are referred to as e2e (all over designs) or custom quilting where each area of the quilt is isolated and stitched out with a specific pattern in each area. Look in Cherie’s gallery page for examples of each. With quilting Cherie is able to add that extra dimension called texture and really make your quilt shine and this is what she loves to do. Get in touch with Cherie today to discuss your quilt with her.
