Cheryl Malkowski lives in Roseburg, Oregon with her husband, Tom, and her dog, Gracie. She loves everything about quilting as long as it can be done with a machine. A quilter since 1993, Cheryl has written six books with C&T Publishing, including the best seller, Doodle Quilting, and its sequel, Doodle Quilting Mania. She has been published several times in magazines such as American Patchwork & Quilting and Fons & Porter’s Love of Quilting, and has her own pattern company, Cheryl Rose Creations.  She has been a featured guest on The Quilt Show with Alex Anderson & Ricky Tims, Quilt It! The Longarm Quilting Show, and many podcasts over the years. Her favorite moments are when students overcome their fears and find out they CAN machine quilt or piece very detailed patterns. Her motto is that quilting should be fun, so she gives her students the tools, tricks, and encouragement to achieve their goals.
