An article written about her by the Craftsmanship Museum says that "The uncompromising craftsmanship exhibited in Cherry’s work is a result of her attitude. She never accepts anything less than perfection." As her career progressed past its early stages, Hill started building unusual models, many of which were insufficiently documented or had no existing original copies. Due to the scarce information, Hill had to get creative to make some models work that did not work originally. The models made at the beginning of Hill's career were given to family and friends, but her more recent ones have been donated to the Institution of Mechanical Engineers. She was married to Ivor Hill, also a model engineer, until his death and has lived in the U.S. since the 90s.
