Cheryl Schaeffer Designs

Art has always been an important part of my life. I was always the child that was drawing for friends and family. As a child and into my early adult years my family live in many different areas of the United States. As my father was in the Marine Corps. When selecting a major in college it was only natural that I selected Art. I graduated with a degree in Fiber Arts from Cal State Fullerton and a degree in Commercial Art. Needlepoint found me. Mother wanted to learn to needlepoint, and since I was newly married and my husband was still in school and working evenings. It gave me time to fall in love with a new art form. Working with other designers in Needlepoint gave me a chance to learn the business end of needlepoint. I have been designing for over 20 years working with wonderful companies. Such as Rainbow Gallery, Needle Necessities, Julia's Needleworks and Fleur de Paris.

Stitch World Magazine has featured several of my designs of Ivy and friends, over the past several years. I live in California with my husband of 30 years and 3 children. Now as my 2 older daughters are grown and my son is 17. I felt I now had the time to thoroughly commit to my designs and company.
