I have not met any of the quilters mentioned above but when I began quilting about 10 years ago I took all my quilts to LQS to be quilted. I always asked for Cheryl Malkowski to do the quilting because she had such good original ideas. Well, as time went by she designed a quilt that was printed in quilting magazine, then picked up by Timeless Fabrics, and now she has had 3 books of her designs published, still works for Timeless, and has also now designed a line of fabric for them too. So I think she is on her way to being a famous quilter, and I knew her when (and have quilts quilted by her too).
