WELCOME
Welcome to our web home.  Add CGQ to your favorites and visit us often!  We absolutely love our patrons and look forward to meeting you through email or through our front door! 

A PROPER INTRODUCTION
We’re Kathy Tilsy and Cheri Ebens.  New visitors have fun trying to guess which one is Kathy and which one is Cheri.  We’ve been duped by a few innovative techniques and inadvertently divulged the answer early on! 

We each have lived more than 20 years in Ashton, a small Midwestern farming community, population 1100.  We’ve known each other through our children (now all adults!) for most of those 20+ years.  Career changes, “time” to enjoy the many facets of quilting and fate brought us together.  We’re both so very happy and blessed to be doing what we’re doing, together!  Established 1/1/05.

HAPPY QUILTING! 

By Quilted Friends, Kathy and Cheri
