Home: Canon City, Colorado
As a two-time guest on TheQuiltShow.com, I am known for my ability to inspire students and for my thorough and detailed teaching style. As an award winning Long-arm quilter as well as a National Quilt Association Certified Teacher, I enjoy delving into a variety of techniques to bring out each student’s creativity and mastery.
My specialties include creating unique quilts from pre-printed panels, mastering math for quilters, basic drafting and Color Exercises for Quilters- beyond the basics of understanding color theory and really getting to the nitty gritty of color psychology and color therapy as we express ourselves through our color choices.
I offer a Panel Palooza trunk show, a Color trunk show to discover how to add more color to your quilts and workshops on topics ranging from working with panels, basic drafting and math mastery to hands on color exercises beyond the theory for quilters.
When not on the road lecturing and teaching for guilds, I enjoy teaching at my local shops – First Stitches in Canon City and Pueblo, CO

“Did you think quilt panels went out of style years ago? Well, if you thought that, you would be wrong. Cyndi McChesney’s lecture takes you through the ins and outs of working with panels, scale, the types of panels and how to pull design elements out of a panel for creative and interesting piecing and settings. Learn how to elevate your creativity and handle the different sizes of blocks into one cohesive quilt top. Another perk of Cyndi’s lecture is she also shows pictures of quilts completed by her students, which gives a good representation of basic to advanced quilt panel use! Panel Palooza will having you looking at panels with a new appreciation. You’ll be energized to pull out those panels patiently waiting in your stash; or scour your local quilt shop for the latest and greatest panel options available!” Vickie Wassell, Programs Coordinator, Pieces ‘n Patches Quilt Guild
Please tell Cyndi that you found her on The Quilters Calendar!
