About Us

Nothing compares to the soft feel of Cherrywood. Our base fabric is a high-quality unbleached muslin. Multiple washings in the dyeing process result in a very high thread count. Our unique colors have been described as muted, brushed, broken-in, subtle, comfortable, earthy and rich.

There are many commercial solid fabrics on the market today, but none will ever be able to duplicate the richness of Cherrywood. Your projects will stand out much more when your solid color has depth and texture. More focus is given to design lines when the eye is not distraction by pattern.

Let us do the color work for you. We have already labored over hue, value, saturation, shade, tint... all those color theory terms that send some people running. No matter how you use our gradations, they look fabulous.

A Little Cherrywood History

Cherrywood Fabrics was created about 35 years ago by Dawn Hall, who started dyeing fabric in her basement. With the help of dedicated friends and employees, the popularity of this unique fabric has grown and changed over the years. Cherrywood has gained a reputation worldwide for high-quality, scrumptious colors.

Cherrywood is dedicated to making our products accessible to as many quilters and sewists as possible. We can't do that one person at a time, so as of 2024 we have partnered with select quilt shops and retailers to help. These shops know and love our fabric and understand the different aspects of our products.

We want our customers to support their local quilt shops. Premier Cherrywood Retailers will carry the entire Cherrywood product line, but we also encourage you to ask for Cherrywood at shops closest to you.
