Who is Sheri Cifaldi-Morrill?

Sheri Cifaldi-Morrill is a designer who creates work that is both decorative and functional, blurring the divisions between art, design, and craft.

With the help of books and the Internet, Sheri taught herself how to sew and discovered her love of designing and making quilts. As a trained and practicing graphic designer, her quilts start with a concept and research shapes the design. Sheri’s mission is to enhance people’s lives through beautiful, meaningful design as well as to empower and inspire others to enjoy the process of making.

In 2015, Sheri founded Whole Circle Studio, her business that specializes in the design of custom modern quilts, quilting & stitching patterns, surface design illustration, and products.
