About
Sherri Grant is the owner of Cactus Rose Quilts. She has been quilting for long enough to have made most of the mistakes, so she became a quilt instructor in order to spare other people that part of the creative process. This has been one of the best things that she has ever done (the teaching, not the mistakes). From this adventure have come more classes, original patterns, a long arm quilting service, and some amazing friendships.
Jim Grant is the other half of Cactus Rose Quilts. Without him, the books would be a mess, the quilting machine would still be disassembled, and no one would eat dinner on the days when creativity strikes. He has been around for so long now that he is starting to think like a quilter and is seeing quilting fabrics in his dreams.
Together we are building a new and exciting way to look at an old craft. Quilting has never been so much fun!
With a long arm quilting machine, the work goes smoothly and joyfully. No more trying to shove a quilt through a hole in your home sewing machine. Each quilt is carefully pinned to the quilting frame and rolled to hold the layers in place. The quilting is done by hand-operating the machine and placing patterns and designs where they will look best.
Sherri works with each client to pick exactly the right quilting to compliment their work. Each quilt is finished with the same care that goes into her own quilts.
Cactus Rose Quilts is about quilting: making quilts, sharing quilts, teaching quilting, designing quilt fabrics, creating new pattern designs, and completing quilts for people who love to make them but don’t have time to quilt them. Our company is not just about making something to sleep under, it is about friendship and creativity and taking time to enjoy the process of quilt building.
